Achieving Transformational Leadership

According to recent media coverage, there is a 'crisis' in the public sector's leadership and management capability. Is this fair criticism or are all public sector organisations being 'tarred with the same brush?'

In Ipsos MORI's experience, it's not all bad news.

Some organisations are demonstrating best practices, whilst others are focusing hard on improvement.

The link between leadership capabilities and organisational performance has been well documented. Whilst there is room for improvement in perceptions of leadership's confidence and future vision, it is apparent that views of these are limited by low levels of awareness and a lack of contact.

Our employee engagement surveys for the public sector often show significant proportions of staff 'fence-sitting' and this is mainly caused by a lack of knowledge.
