Planners' perceptions of the influence of leadership on coordinating plans
基于对加拿大五个城市区域92位规划师的访谈，探讨领导力如何影响他们协调土地利用规划活动的能力，发现变革型领导常见，规划师常扮演管理者、促进者或智慧增长领导者角色。
Based on interviews with 92 planners in five Canadian city-regions, we explore planners' perceptions of the ways that leadership affects their ability to coordinate land-use planning activities in the context of sometimes divergent or conflicting priorities and policies. Practitioners describe conditions where transformational leadership – with organizational leaders building followership around values set by political leaders – has become common, and planners have often settled into managerial roles as agent of municipal councils. Planners identify two other roles they may play: as facilitator of communication and collaboration, and as leader for smart growth strategies. The evidence suggests that planners align their role expectations not only with preferred theories in the discipline, but also with the leadership regimes they encounter.
