Public leadership e motivazione nella PA

Strengthening PA leadership and motivational skills
The ongoing change in public administration is based on the recognition of the importance of soft skills and employee motivation as a strategic lever for improving individual and organizational performance. For this reason, the public sector needs managers in the public sector who are capable of directing people and using the levers at their disposal, even and especially the non-economic ones, given the constraints of the sector.
Feeling more effective as a leader requires not only acquiring new up-to-date knowledge about motivating people in PA, but also learning how to improve one's ability to influence with one's team members, as well as in internal and external collaborative relationships.
The program offers this opportunity, combining three days of classroom activities and in-person practical case solving with an online leadership skills assessment program, based on individual and group tests and trials, aimed at assessing one's soft skills and motivational profile, to understand which aspects need to be enhanced and strengthened and which ones developed.
The program is part of the "People Management and Public Leadership" competency area of the Government Academy.

Program Direction

There are those who think that leadership is a natural attribute and cannot be learned or that there is no room in PA for the development of these skills. Our research and experience in education show us otherwise.
