Overview

""Every leader is a reader,"" Harry Truman once said. While corporate leaders have an entire genre of business leadership to choose from, public sector leaders have a limited choice of books that offer leadership advice relevant to their context. In The Public Sector CEO, author Borko Handjiski closes this gap by offering a toolbox of managerial best practices inspired by successful public sector leaders or adopted from the corporate world but tailored to the public context. Inspired by Former President Obama's simplistic yet profound advice, ""Just learn how to get stuff done,"" this guide offers sixteen actionable managerial best practices that touch on the unique aspects of leading a public sector organization. The topics revolve around managing yourself, managing your organization, and managing external stakeholders. Each best practice starts with real-life examples of how leaders of public sector organizations fail, and it ends with a structured set of actions backed by experiences of successful leaders. The Public Sector CEO's insights come from interviews with more than thirty government leaders including former prime ministers, ministers, mayors, and heads of government agencies and a survey of thirty senior government executives from around the world. Lastly, the content incorporates Handjiski's twenty years of experience in advising public sector leaders and the latest literature on these topics.
