Abstract

There has been an increasing momentum in public sector reform in the UK since 1997 as part of the wider modernising government agenda (HMSO 1999). This chapter explores the impact of these reforms on public leaders and how the reforms embrace the traditional notion of new public management (NPM). One of the aims of the challenge is to identify what public leadership means, whether the term can be applied consistently across the public sector and whether public leadership can be evaluated.
