I attended an interesting and though provoking seminar this week on Leadership in the Public Sector in Scotland. It was hosted at the Scottish executive by the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council). There were some excellent speakers and I was particularly influenced by Prof. Keith Grint and his input on “tame and wicked problems” and his typology of problems, power and authority model.
“the demands of collaborative leadership and partnership working in the face of wicked problems requires, leaders, universities business schools and consultants to work together…”
There was also reference to “the ten most important moonshots” (Hamel, 2009) on the journey from Management 1.0 to Management 2.0 during Graeme Martin’s presentation , which included;
“Redefine the work of leaders so that they are not seen as grand visionaries, all –seeing decision makers and disciplinarians but architects and facilitators of employee collaboration”
“fully embed the ideas of community and citizenship in management systems”
Reconstruct management’s philosophical foundations to be adaptable, innovative, inspiring and socially responsible, as well as operationally excellent”
All very relevant to the Public Sector
You can see the rest of the content at the ESRC site .
