Coaching Public Service Leaders - Lybarger MCC, John S.

. .

Résumé :
Many leader development models are complex. Figuring them out (let alone implementing them) can seem impossible. Dr. Lybarger draws on his years of experience serving clients in the public sector to highlight seven practices that good leaders master in this practical, easy-to-follow guidebook. The practices are not linear but interlaced, and when woven together, they create a complex tapestry of leadership behaviors. In examining the seven practices, the author answers questions such as: ? Why do some public service employees love their work and remain engaged while others disengage and do the minimum? ? What does it take for love, belonging, and community to dispel fear, disengagement, and isolation? ? What sustains those who are engaged and motivated to serve the public? Other topics include what leaders can do to help those who are floundering flourish, ways to promote a culture of respect, and the differences between managers and leaders. Although traditional leadership models have not kept pace with the demands of the workplace, individuals who are pillars of exemplary public service leadership can guide their public service peers to successful leadership.
