Abstract

This paper examines 201 leadership development programmes run by government agencies in the United States. It focuses on in-service training provided to civil servants at the federal and state levels. The aim of this paper involves identifying and discussing the main curriculum themes that underpin those training programmes. Based on the analysis and interpretation of these programmes, it proposes directions for future public administration research.

Points for practitioners

Five curriculum themes—mentoring, leading change, emotional intelligence, diversity and equity, and crisis leadership—underpin the leadership training programmes of government agencies.
These public organisations should be viewed and conceptualised not only as bureaucracies but also as communities of learning.
It is crucial to measure these training programmes’ organisational outcomes and effectiveness.

美国政府层面的公共领导力发展

本文考察了美国政府机构开展的201个领导力发展项目。它的重点是向联邦和州两级公务员提供在职培训。本文的目的是确定和讨论支撑这些培训方案的主要课程主题。在对这些方案进行分析和解释的基础上，提出了今后公共行政研究的方向。五个课程主题——指导、引领变革、情商、多样性与公平、危机领导力——是政府机构领导力培训项目的基础。这些公共组织不仅应该被视为官僚机构，而且应该被视为学习社区。衡量这些培训项目的组织成果和有效性至关重要。
