Abstract

Training, education and development for senior public managers often focuses on generic management capabilities, which are useful for any sector, but this neglects the specific features, purposes and processes of public organizations. This article identifies distinctive features of public management and argues that knowledge and practice about democracy, public value and political astuteness are key areas for management development. There are some services with good practice, but there is scope for wider design and provision of sector-specific training.
