Can Public Leadership be Evaluated?

Abstract

Most evaluations ask about specific policies or programmes. Policies and programmes are devised to deal with some state of affairs (say levels of poverty or ill-health) or behaviour (say patterns of criminal activity or truancy) that is deemed problematic. The success or failure of the policy or programme is measured in terms of the change in the targeted state of affairs or behaviour together with positive and negative unintended side-effects. The main interest is in learning lessons for future policy and practice.
