Activating administrative prowess

Changing leadership images and roles through training procedures designed to embody covenantal responsibility in symbolic leaders. The effect is to accomplish the actual infusion of the reformulated symbolic leader concept into the social process.

An integral part of re-energizing public leadership by creating an operational context in which the execute authority recaptures authentic representational power while being held responsible to the individual.

Tactics include: judgement formulation to intensify self-consciousness toward decision-making criteria; corporate leadership to form the corporate context for executing leadership responsibility; consensus facilitation to equip the leader with the methods and training for consensus formulation; representational accountability to call for structures which maintain the covenantal relationship between leadership and the individual; and ethical posture to contextualize responsibility and professional conduct in job performance. An example is the utilization of training methodologies to enable administrative officials in the state civil service to develop their role concepts.
