Effective leaders understand the need to expand their repertoire of skills to meet the increased expectations of those they lead and to cope with an increasingly complex operating environment<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As a result, the notion of what constitutes effective leadership in government is evolving. For one thing, it often no longer follows a top-down model, with executives promulgating orders and rank-and-file workers carrying them out. Effective leaders recognize that great ideas can come from anywhere, and executing those ideas well may require talent drawn from all quarters\u2014both inside and outside government. These leaders have learned to tap the energies of individuals from throughout their own organizations, encouraging new ways of thinking and working, and even allowing a little flexibility in pursuit of great results. Such leaders also work across boundaries, seizing opportunities to collaborate with other agencies, with the private sector, and with the public.<\/p>\n<p>The new wave of leaders also knows how to think small. Instead of seeking change through vast, multi-year projects which, if they don\u2019t succeed, may fail spectacularly, they instead often look to make change one discrete step at a time. They provide a safe environment where employees can experiment with new approaches, apply their successes, learn from their failures, and go on to the next iteration.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, these new leaders know how to use digital media both tactically and strategically. They take advantage of social networks to foster collaboration and communication\u2014within their agencies and with partners and constituents outside their own walls. They also use all the digital tools at their disposal to construct a vision out of disparate pieces of information\u2014sensing trends, gauging moods, and developing a sense of what\u2019s needed next.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about effective leadership in the digital age, see <a href=\"http:\/\/dupress.com\/articles\/the-new-government-leader-mobilizing-agile-public-leadership-in-disruptive-times\/?coll=4659\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The New Government Leader<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr align=\"left\" size=\"1\" width=\"33%\" \/>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ednref1\">[1]<\/a> Partnership for Public Service, \u201cBest Places to Work in the Federal Government: 2012 Rankings,\u201d December 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ednref2\">[2]<\/a> Ibid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ednref3\">[3]<\/a> Partnership for Public Service, \u201cBest Places to Work in the Federal Government Analysis: Federal Leadership on the Decline,\u201d April 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its 2012 Best Places to Work survey, the Partnership for Public Service found that US federal civil servants are less happy with their jobs than at any time since 2003 (when the organization first started compiling its rankings of the best places to work in the federal government).[1] The government-wide index score\u2014which indicates how [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":1851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,17],"tags":[35,8],"class_list":["post-1848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-about-gov","category-education","tag-government-trends","tag-leadership"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Makes a &quot;Good&quot; Government Leader?
