Professional development leadership in turbulent times: Public administration symposium: Robust politics and governance in turbulent times
通过31个访谈，研究公共管理者在事件、需求和支援多变且不可预测的情况下，如何运用专业发展领导力来激活或调整专业规范与知识，以实现稳健治理。
Abstract Intense turbulence means that parameters change, interdependencies unexpectedly become critical, and public organizations experience unpredictable tempo shifts. Existing studies have explored how public managers can exercise leadership specifically aimed at obtaining dynamic resilience, but more knowledge about leadership and turbulence intensity is needed. Combining existing theoretical knowledge about robust governance in turbulent times and in‐depth analysis of 31 interviews, we examine how public managers exercise professional development leadership in situations where events, demands, and support interact in variable, inconsistent, unexpected, and unpredictable ways. We find it highly relevant for public managers to both develop and (de)activate professional norms and knowledge in such situations, implying that professional development leadership is important in turbulent times.
