Abstract: Government leaders today face daunting challenges, such as huge deficits, new and emerging security threats, and public mistrust. Navigating these challenges will require leaders with the vision and fortitude to make major transformations. However, the state of leadership in government is in crisis – impending retirements, uncertain budgets, and outdated policies and practices make building a stronger pipeline of leaders difficult. Significant improvement is needed in how leaders are identified, developed, and supported. This presentation will provide a summary of a multi-year research effort to create a new government leadership performance model. Leveraging several thousand data points across multiple government agencies, the research team has identified the key competencies required for success at each major leadership level and those most likely to accelerate performance from one level to the next. Implications for leadership assessment and development will also be discussed.
