Managerial Reflections

by David Broadhead

Attitudes to leadership and development in the public sector

Eighteen months ago I launched an innovative, highly cost effective new management development programme based on the CMI Level 7 Diploma, designed to develop the managerial skills required to lead sustainable innovation in our so called age of austerity.

A quick analysis by sector of the participants enrolled shows that;

  • 41% are from the finance sector
  • 29% are from the third sector
  • 18% are from SME’s
  • 12% are from the public sector

What does this tell us about attitudes to leadership and development in the public sector and its view on innovation?

Downsizing and delivering more will require new managerial skills and mindsets in the public sctor. Manufacturing went through a radical transformation in the 80′s and 90′s primarily through improving it’s management capability. Will this now happen in the public sector?
