 Country example – Russia: every year Russia
loses up to 33 billion USD due to corruption
(according to president D.Medvedev)

 Managing inequality is one of the primary
goals of governments
 The gap between rich and poor is now at its
highest level in 30 years in most OECD

 Developing Managerial Effectiveness (time-
management, prioritization, strategic thinking,
decision-making and getting up to speed with
the job)
 Motivation (the challenge of inspiring or
motivating others to ensure they are satisfied
with their jobs and working smarter)
 Developing employees (developing others,
including mentoring and coaching)
 Guiding change (knowing how to mitigate
consequences, overcome resistance to change
and deal with employees’ reaction to change)

 Managing Internal Stakeholders and Politics

groups or individuals)
 Nepotism

 increasing emphasis upon responsiveness to
citizens’ demands
 government officials to have a better and
clearer understanding of exactly what their
citizens are seeking or expecting
 engaging the citizens or a civil society in
strategic planning exercises.

 Use case methods, individual and group
simulation techniques
 Don’t use the term “training” for top
government officers. Rather use the words
such as competency enhancement initiatives,
workshops, roundtables, working groups,
policy dialogues, etc., as they have much
less negative connotations

 For competency enhancement workshops,
involve trainers or individuals who have had
prior experience at a comparable level of
government service.
 Another critical factor often is the
attractiveness of the location in which the
activity is being carried out.

 One particularly good strategy is to organize
activities around a particular task or policy.
 Another very good approach, especially for
newly elected policy makers, is the creation
of orientation sessions or seminars at an
early point in their elected terms.

 Most senior level policy makers are
reluctant to spend more than a couple of
days involved in such activities. So keep
the training sessions or workshops for short
duration.
 If a longer time frame is necessary, divide
the activity into different segments and
spread it over several months.

 Creation of teams of individuals drawn from
different units, agencies, departments or
governments
 Focus on techniques and processes that
promote effective collaboration among
individuals

 If you are effective as a manager then you and
your organization will benefit.
 On the other hand if you are ineffective as a
manager, any deficiencies that you have can
potentially translate into inefficiencies within
your organization.
 It is therefore important for you to take control
of your own development as a manager to ensure
that you are able to address your weaknesses in
your management skills and build further on your
strengths.
