Publisher's Synopsis
This book is one of the first studies to benchmark the leadership capabilities of senior and civil servants of a federal government - Australian ? against the leadership capabilities of top managers in the private sector and chairmen and executive and non-executive directors of NHS trusts in the UK. The research highlights that despite a more positive and supportive internal culture of organisation, the telling difference in terms of the performance of the organisation is in the effectiveness or otherwise of the leadership of the organisation.
