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.
