Public Governance and Community Leadership

Our focus in this book is public governance and community leadership, a broader concept than simple traditional management. The term management is too formal and limited in its scope. In its narrow sense it focuses on the formalised administrative tasks of chief executives and managers within organisational settings. Although the book utilises the traditional management process as a point of reference, public management is too complex a subject to be limited to the classical management model. Public management is multifaceted. It covers developmental, political, administrative, cultural, sociological and ecological aspects of concerned communities, among other related issues.
