Public and Third Sector Leadership: Experience Speaks

This book offers a rare and unique insight into the views of leaders in both the public
and third sectors. Each leader has contributed their personal reflections of what
leadership means to them and their experience of it, and they have also reflected on
the complex challenges which they are facing as they grapple with profound changes
in the economy, polity and society.
This volume includes:
 An overview of the themes in literature on leadership in the public and third
sectors
 An analysis of the research in the public and third sectors and reflections
written by leaders, with key themes from each sector
 A conclusion that looks at the implications for leadership in the public and
third sectors
This is a unique opportunity to hear from the men and women who have been
demanding leadership positions in the public and third sectors in the UK today, and is
essential reading for all leaders and aspiring leaders.
