This is a call for papers for a special issue related to Leadership Development in the Public Sector.
This special issue will challenge the prevailing public sector leadership development literature by investigating its frameworks, prescriptions, and best practices. Along with identifying notable gaps, contributors will revisit core assumptions and other present developmental paradigms, revealing how on the one hand, the literature often neglects new theory and empirical findings from other sectors and from disciplines outside political science; and, on the other hand, when it draws unreservedly, can obscure the usual tensions between individual development and systemic constraints, neglect the political dimensions of public leadership, and understate institutional contradictions. By surfacing what has been missed or taken for granted, this issue will advance a richer theoretical and empirical base of leadership development in the public service.
