A critical explanation is developed of the foundational contribution made by national leadership development interventions in the 2000s to the emergence, proliferation, and normalization of leadership development provision. Through carrying out qualitative research in England, the authors investigate the national leadership development interventions for school education, healthcare, and higher education. Whilst also looking at the contemporary legacy of these interventions within a global scale, examining the growing international movement and comparing interventions across the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book looks at new ways to approach leadership development, adopting a novel perspective on leadership as a metaphorical concept and coining the concept of 'leaderism', and exploring how although senior staff may be widely acculturated as leaders, they may not necessarily be committed to acting as government change agents. Leadership development makes a diffuse contribution towards the ongoing neoliberalization of public services. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeveloping Public Service Leaders\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive and essential read for a researcher or policymaker striving for an in-depth understanding of the field and its ramifications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Wallace, Michael Reed, Dermot O'Reilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019955210X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199552108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.50w x 1.60d","brand":"Mike Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069591974143,"sku":"9780199552108","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b003a5b9-ac91-4eb3-ab13-c5bab81e5b23.jpg?v=1685425506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/developing-public-service-leaders-mike-wallace-9780199552108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
