| Description | Our main contributions to theory-building on public service change are, first, capturing how ideologically-framed discourses impact on policy and practice. Second, theorising the dynamics of context-leader interaction. Policy implications are, first, determining how leadership development contributed to mobilizing and mediating reform and independent change agendas across public service administrative levels. Second, establishing how far national leadership development bodies constituted a joined-up or 'siloised' and potentially duplicative strategy for building public service leadership capacity across English public services. |
