Abstract:

Is there a greater need for leadership in the public-sector or is there a need for better management? The
correct answer is maybe yes to both. Many theorists describe leaders and managers as two separate and
different entities; but in the public-sector there may be a distinct need for both manager and leader as
one. This paper will examine the complications faced by managers in the public sector, and how OD
methods and intervention techniques can make a difference in the difficult political environment.
