Searching for Leadership is the first book to examine the evolving role and leadership of the highest-ranking public servant in Ottawa or in any of Canada's Provinces and Territories, the Secretary to Cabinet, or the "Clerk." Arguing that the leadership role of the Secretary to Cabinet must be appreciated and understood in light of modern management practices and the centralization of administrative practices, the contributors to this volume present a mixture of approaches to the position: literature reviews, structural approaches, and biographical case studies of influential Secretaries to the Cabinet. Analyzing the role of Secretaries to the Cabinet in Ottawa as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Ontario, the contributors detail the roles, key functions and impact of these highly influential public servants, highlighting the ways in which the leadership skills of Secretaries to the Cabinet have changed and responded to change. An important contribution to understanding Canadian governance and public management, Searching for Leadership is essential reading for scholars and students in political science, history, public administration and management, as well as public servants. 410 0$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance. 606 $aGovernment executives$zCanada 606 $aGovernment executives$zCanada$xProvinces 606 $aLeadership$zCanada 606 $aExecutive advisory bodies$zCanada$xProvinces$xOfficials and employees 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGovernment executives 615 0$aGovernment executives$xProvinces. 615 0$aLeadership 615 0$aExecutive advisory bodies$xProvinces$xOfficials and employees. 676 $a352.24/322930971 702 $aDutil$b Patrice$f1960- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456800603321 996 $aSearching for leadership$92204351 997 $aUNINA
