We are living in a turbulent era where many claim there is a global epidemic of ineffective leadership. There is no doubt that leading and managing communities and nations requires great public leadership. Leadership capacity demands innovation and entrepreneurship to move society forward. Management capacity is critical to allocating resources and implementing policies in order to make changes in a positive way. Despite the meanings of leadership and management capacity differing by social, political, and geographic context, scholars often consider leadership as a personal value and use leading and managing concepts interchangeably without considering differences or its multiple dimensions. In the field of Public Administration, one of our goals is to educate and raise public leaders at the right time in different contexts.

Paradoxically as market principle prevails in every sphere of human society across the globe, public sector management has also come to highlight effectiveness and efficiency. Leaders play a crucial role in striking an appropriate balance. To this end,

Overall, the following questions were discussed:

  1. Are western public leadership styles fundamentally different from Asian leadership styles?
  2. What value does strong leadership add to public settings?
  3. What are the qualities of a good public leader and do they differ by culture?
  4. To what extent is quality leadership sector specific?
  5. How can PA scholars educate future generation of good public leader?
