§ The Prime MinisterI have asked the Performance and Innovation Unit (PIU) to undertake a further project looking at effective leadership in delivering public services.
The project will look across the public sector and at international and private sector organisations. It will consider the needs of public sector leadership in the future; carry out an audit of the extent to which current activity aimed at developing leaders can be expected to meet those needs; make recommendations on the action needed across the public sector to get good leaders into place and enable them to operate effectively; and identify practical ways of increasing the diversity of public sector leadership.
