Abstract

Regulation plays a vital role in reducing harms and promoting public order. However, regulatory reform has been likened to painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it never ends. Coupling this reality with the increasing array of areas requiring regulation, there is an acute need for regulators to become more effective in how they work. We discuss the leadership skills needed to ensure regulators consistently contribute to the creation of public value.

Points for practitioners

Regulators can be more effective when they appreciate their authorising environment and the factors which make that environment dynamic.
Careful calibration of enforcement practices to the capabilities of those being regulated can reduce conflicts and improve outcomes.
Regulators with good communication skills can do much to resolve apparently intractable disputes.

监管机构的领导技能

监管在减少危害和促进公共秩序方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，监管改革被比作粉刷悉尼海港大桥，永无止境。再加上需要监管的领域越来越多，监管机构迫切需要在工作方式上提高效率。我们将讨论确保监管机构始终为创造公共价值做出贡献所需的领导技能。当监管机构了解其授权环境和使该环境动态的因素时，监管机构可以更有效。仔细调整执法做法，使之符合被监管方的能力，可以减少冲突，改善结果。具备良好沟通技巧的监管机构可以在解决看似棘手的纠纷方面发挥很大作用。
