Newspapers & Magazines
'Paul Joyce demonstrates evidence that leaders need to be intelligent, social, and ethical. He re-frames strategic leadership substantially: not organizations, but governance; not followers, but citizens; not from the top, but as a mediator. This book will certainly affect the behaviour of many leaders.' - Geert Bouckaert, President of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences, KU Leuven, Belgium

'The question of leadership in the public sector has never been addressed in a publication with such clear methodological, bibliographic references. This book is a resource for academics and professionals, helping them to go beyond the generalities failing to seriously address this fundamental issue in our public organizations.' - Professor Robert Fouchet, Director of Publications at the International Institute of Administrative Sciences & Director of Research at the Institute of Public Management and Territorial Governance, Aix Marseille University, France

'A compelling read that is both academically rigorous and accessible. Paul Joyce's reflections on leadership and strategy in the public sector provide new insights for policy makers and students alike.' - Dr Richard Boyle, Head of Research, Institute of Public Administration, Ireland

'Strategy is important but often filled with buzzwords and hype. This thoughtful book gives an excellent overview of relevant theories and practical tools for public sector managers as well as for postgraduate and executive Master's students in public administration and management.' - Age Johnsen, Professor of Public Policy, Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway
