# Public Sector Leadership Styles Notes on how leadership is practiced in government (real-world styles, cultural patterns, etc) ## Entries **13/02/2025**: **"Radical Leadership: Power, Possibility and Public Service"** is a report published on February 13, 2025, by Jessica Studdert, Shaheen Warren, and Anna Randle through _New Local_. Drawing on a year of dialogue with local government leaders across the UK, the report introduces the concept of _Radical Leadership_—a model that reimagines leadership in the public sector. Rather than rejecting traditional leadership traits, "Radical Leaders" integrate them with new capabilities grounded in collaboration, compassion, and community orientation. The report identifies four core shifts: from organisation-focused to community-led approaches, from management to mobilisation, from pure decisiveness to compassion, and from efficiency to resilience. The paper argues that leading effectively in today’s public sector requires not only systems thinking but also emotional intelligence, adaptability, and a deep sense of public purpose. -
