There is no doubt that the topic of leadership is booming. Even at public service conferences, it is still leadership topics that attract the most interested people. The tight personnel situation in many municipalities alone means that the topic of leadership is given the highest priority by administrations and personnel managers. Stefan Scholer has been head of the training and further education centre of the state capital Munich since 2006. His book is based not only on his many years of experience as a trainer and coach, but also on his own leadership activities in a large administration. He knows the difficulties and dilemmas in practical everyday leadership. Combined with the author's numerous insights from conversations, seminars and coaching sessions with team leaders, the reader receives many tips and approaches that can be applied in practice. The author focuses on the topic of leadership in the public sector. Situationally appropriate questions enable a deeper reflection on one's own starting situation and elementary leadership tasks. Every team leader should perform these tasks proactively and on his or her own initiative. The content covers topics such as personnel management with goals, leadership tasks, the area of tension between organisational interest and employee orientation, leadership under unfavourable framework conditions and systemic leadership.
