Transformational Leadership in State and Local Government: Objectives

Government as usual doesn’t work any more. Increasing demands for performance, budget stress, a rule-bound workplace, interest group pressure, media scrutiny, and anti-government sentiment mean we can’t succeed by with leadership methods of the last century. The “bureaucratic” system of government, which actually saved American government a century ago, no longer meets citizen, taxpayer, or even government employee needs and expectations.

21st Century government leaders need new skills and knowledge to transcend bureaucracy and reconnect people with their government. This workshop shows you how. It emphasizes “transformational leadership,” not leadership that seeks incremental change or even aspires to an excellent status quo.

Learn how post-bureaucratic leadership can achieve breakthrough results and transform your organization. This workshop ties all the high performance concepts you have been hearing about together and places them in a “makes sense” framework:

  1. Learn about different kinds of leadership and what today’s political, fiscal, social, and technological changes demand of leadership
  2. Discover what qualities, talents, and skills are now most needed by government leaders . . . and which ones are not
  3. Acquire practical tools you need to succeed as a transformational leader today
  4. Learn how you can foster leadership at every level of your organization
  5. See how a network of systems hold the key to your success and learn how to use them to achieve results
  6. Understand the critical importance of people to transformation and how to engage them, inside and outside your organization

Each participant will also complete the day with an assessment of her or his organization’s leadership needs and a personalized leadership plan.
