Leadership is a mutual relationship between people, not imposed on one person to another person. Leadership is when people believe that a leader is capable of meeting their needs. The American School of Leadership at the University of Columbia surveyed 1500 people from different sectors found in leading positions in their own firms. Answers from 20 countries have been received, including America, Japan, European countries, Latin America, etc. Answers were given to what are the most important features It is important that people who in the near future can be entrusted with the role of the leader in any enterprise or system. Do these people have the people who decide on the fate of these leading companies?To be truly effective, leaders of large bureaucracies (large in number) should bring time to many activities within an agency. For many scholars, the key to leadership lies in the features or features that lead to this task, while other scholars describe what features feature theory has. According to them is the belief or the assumption that leadership is based on unique characteristics, qualities or characteristics that have the leaders and that enable them to assume responsibilities. Trust in the theory of features assumes that there is the quality of "born leadership", an assumption that led to the emergence of research on leadership skills and something else of a tradition within the public administration. The authors of this theory try to differentiate and describe the essential features and characteristics of all good leaders.For some time and mostly before the Second World War, public administration scholars interested in leadership aspects of those who handle large bureaucracies assumed that leaders had the gift or the attribute that separated them from the others who followed them. They believed leaders were born like that. Leaders had charisma, and their leadership was based more on their personality than on formal leadership positions or on any rational or legal authority.Any agreement which features were exactly essential to a good leadership did not exist. All of these features are useful to a leader, but no set of features could be demonstrated theoretically as essential. Since the 1960s, the importance of features has been increasingly seen as obsolete. Other factors have been seen to be at least as important or even more important than any other personal qualities of the leader. Some of the qualities suggested above as essential can be seen as counterproductive in some contexts.

Abstract In November 2018, the University of Arizona’s School of Government and Public Policy hosted an international workshop on the role of organization theory in public management. The intention was to renew interest in organization theory in public management research. Scholars such as Herbert Simon, Herbert Kaufman, and Richard Selznick made seminal contributions to organization theory through the study of public organizations from the 1940s through the 1960s. In our estimation, organization theory is underrepresented in public administration scholarship for the last several decades. There are natural reasons for this trend, including the discipline’s turn towards organizational behavior and the ascendancy of techniques that advance the study of large datasets and those that allow for experimental control. The recent emergence of “behavioral public administration” is a prominent example of this evolution. This symposium is an attempt to make a place at the table of public management for organization theory. The articles in this symposium contain articles from scholars who operate in the tradition of classic organization theory in new and innovative ways to lend intellectual purchase to studies of public organizations and public organizational networks.

Democratic Procedure

For many years, the organized Bar has sought to guide the process of judicial selection. Its greatest activity has been in metropolitan communities where the choice is nominally by vote of the people. Such participation by a quasi-public group in a democratic procedure raises several pertinent questions. For example, what effect will it probably have on methods of selection now in force? Is such activity likely to become an accepted feature of our political life? Is such participation to be regarded as in the public interest? Is it a specific corrective that the body politic has developed to counterbalance too much democracy in judicial selection?To shed some light on these and related questions, the writer (as a graduate student at the University of Chicago) made a study of judicial selection in Chicago from 1870 to 1933, particular attention being given to the rôle of the Chicago Bar Association in the process.

Based on the flagship creative experience in 1962, the University of Brasilia in Brasilia under the leadership of Darcy Ribeiro, inspired by his master Teixeira, and its confrontations that culminated in the dissolution of its original design by 1964's coup, I look into the importance of the proposals contained in it today as well as I suggest a dialogue with the emancipatory thinking on the continent under the rubric of "modernity-coloniality-Decoloniality" that deepens the role of the public university in the rewriting of history, in the recognition of the undermined voices and in pursuit of utopia, one pluritopia, beginning today.KeywordsUniversity, Darcy Ribeiro, Latin America, decolonial---ResumenArticulando los temas del desarrollo, de las desigualdades sociales, de la autodeterminación de los pueblos y de la constitución de un sistema científico y tecnológico, interesa descortinar el lugar de la universidad pública en la utopía latinoamericana en efervescencia en los años 1960 y 1970.

Abstract As the United States continues to struggle with record deficits and a weak economy, a debate is unfolding about the utility of public institutions. There are growing concerns that many long-standing community resources have somehow faltered in their missions of service and education. Increasingly, public higher education faces criticism that it is inaccessible, unaffordable, and uninterested in contributing to the greater good. At the same time, the public is firm in its belief that universities “have the answers” to many of our most pressing problems. In undertaking a close study of what happened to its home city in 1968, the University of Baltimore did not lay claim to any answers. This was a true exploration—of the facts, the emotions, the scars, and the healing that have marked the four decades since those dark days of violence and chaos. UB knew it could play a key role in uncovering this hidden history, and it well exceeded its public mandate as a repository of information and ideas. Now, more than a year later, we are seen in new and exciting ways, and we continue to help the people of Baltimore learn how to live together.

Comparative Public Administration

A small but growing area of public administration scholarship appreciates the influence of religious values on various aspects of government. This appreciation parallels a growing interest in comparative public administration and indigenized forms of government which recognizes the role of culture in different approaches to government. This article is at the crossroads of these two trends while also considering a very salient region, the Islamic world. The Islamic world is uniquely religious, which makes this discussion even more relevant, as the nations that represent them strive towards legitimacy and stability. The history and core values of Islam need to be considered as they pertain to systems of government that are widely accepted by the people. In essence, this is being done in many countries across the Islamic world, providing fertile grounds for public administration research from a comparative perspective. This paper explores these possibilities for future research on this topic.

Traditional Approaches

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.

Islamic banks are present in the community as financial institutions whose activities are based on the principles of Islamic law for the benefit of the people. This study aims to determine the strategic role of Islamic Banks as financial service institutions, the importance of the existence of Islamic Banks and Islamic-based markets and financial instruments in them. In its development, Islamic banks have a role as institutions that turn on public funds, channel funds to the public, transfer assets, liquidity, reallocation of income and transactions. In the Indonesian economic system, the existence of Islamic Banks is important as an alternative solution to the problem of conflict between bank interest and usury. Islamic financial markets and instruments provide a free society of interest and follow a different set of principles.

The article studies the main stages and features of the evolution of the public administration system in the Republic of Estonia after 1992. This paper presents brief geographical and socio-economic characteristics that largely determine the development of the country’s public administration. The evolution of the institution of the presidency, executive, and legislative powers are considered. The role of parliament and mechanisms for coordinating the interests of different groups of the population for the development of the country is especially emphasized. The authors analyze the state and administrative reforms of recent years, which were aimed at improving the quality of services provided to the population, increasing the competitiveness of different parts of Estonia, as well as optimizing public spending and management structure. The introduction of digital technologies into the sphere of public administration, healthcare, education, and the social sphere is of a notable place. Such phenomena as e-residency, e-federation, and other digital projects are considered. The development of a digital system of interstate interaction between Estonia and Finland made it possible to create the world’s first e-federation, and the digitization of all strategically important information and its transfer to cloud storage speaks of the creation of the world’s first e-residency, a special residence of data outside the country’s borders to ensure digital continuity and statehood in the event of critical malfunctions or external threats.
