Description: "In Leading Forward, Tim Flanagan and John Lybarger provide a developmental framework and assessment tool based on four dimensions of effective leadership—Agile Learning Capability, Adept with Ambiguity, Adroit at Thinking Strategically, and Ambitious Drive to Execute. As the authors explain, these four Leadership Meta-Competencies are critical to the success of public service leaders now and will continue to be in the future. Based on the authors’ years of experience working with agency leaders at all levels of government, and the latest assessment data from multiple sources, including the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the book is a practical resource that includes a review of the current core leadership competencies and a detailed look at the behaviors and approaches necessary to effectively lead into the future. Filled with dozens of real-life examples from agency leaders, engaging personal stories, and illustrations of successful leadership from contemporary and historic figures, Leading Forward offers a practical and effective framework for developing great leaders for the public good."--Publisher description.
