Course Description and Overview

The “Leadership in the Public Sector” portfolio comprises of blended training programmes
with e-learning courses as well as face-to-face training workshops. The aim of these programmes
are to build and strengthen the skills of public sector leaders around the world for the successful
implementation of Agenda 2030. The objectives of the portfolio are:
To raise awareness
To build capacity
To ensure leadership development tools are accessible to all via e-learning courses and face to face
workshops
Program Outcomes:
Over the past year the Leadership Learning Community has been actively trying to
learn more about the leadership outcomes that programs are seeking for individuals,
organizations, and communities; and the tools and methods programs are using to
evaluate these outcomes. This document reflects and honors some of the important
work that the Community has done together so far, and provides a point of departure
for continued learning and exploration during the May Conference and beyond. In
what follows we share a framework that captures the leadership outcomes that
programs have most consistently articulated as well as some of the methods that have
been used to evaluate these outcomes. The purpose of this work is to become clearer
about what we are trying to achieve with our programs so that we can be more
intentional about how we plan and deliver our programs, and more capable of
assessing what we are achieving both in the short term and over time. Categories of
Leadership Outcomes There are four broad categories of leadership outcomes
programs are seeking to promote:
• Core Leadership Competencies
• Personal Transformation and Mastery
• Organizational Leadership Capacity
• Community Leadership Capacity

Level outcomes:
When it comes to better decision-making process and skills, understanding how people
think, evaluate and decide is immensely valuable. Your ability to be effective with both
making and communicating decisions increases dramatically when you know where
someone is in terms of their processing. That includes recognizing what level they are
operating on so you can help them
Course Outcomes: Expected learning outcomes
Upon completion of the Public Affairs degree program, students will be able:
To lead and manage in public governance
To participate in and contribute to the public policy process
To analyze, synthesize, think critically, solve problems, and make decisions
To articulate and apply a public service perspective
 To communicate and interact productively with a diverse and changing workforce and
citizenry
