This book is your guide to becoming an empowerment leader. Its purpose: to redirect and re-energize leadership in government.
If you are involved in any form of government leadership, this new publication will show you exactly how to develop and implement the principles of empowerment and improve quality.
Transformational Leadership in Government is written for administrators and managers who are committed to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their staff. Koehler and Pankowski illustrate how true leadership is the creation of a working environment that encourages those closest to the problem to take the responsibility for solving it.
The authors provide new principles of leadership that will enable leaders to successfully manage any government organization. The book focuses on governmental organizations that should be customer driven, process oriented, team based, and data driven. The essence of Transformational Leadership in Government can be summed up in the words of W. Edwards Deming: Give the worker a chance to work with pride.
