The Effectively Leading Manifestation of Public Service-OrientedGovernance
Main Article Content
Abstract
Effective leadership is a key factor in building transparent, accountable, and public service-oriented governance. This study aims to analyze leadership characteristics that support good governance, identify obstacles in its implementation, and formulate strategies that can improve leadership effectiveness in the government sector. This research uses the literature study method by reviewing various academic journals and relevant scientific books. The results showed that effective leadership is characterized by integrity, data-based decision-making ability, transparent communication, and flexibility to deal with change. However, the implementation of leadership in governance still faces a number of obstacles, such as rigid bureaucracy, low accountability, high levels of corruption, and lack of community involvement in the decision-making process. Therefore, some strategies that can be implemented to improve leadership effectiveness include strengthening information governance, experience-based leadership training, improving oversight mechanisms, and utilizing technology in government processes. In addition, reforms in leadership recruitment systems that are more professional and competency-based are also needed to ensure that elected leaders have sufficient capacity. By implementing these strategies, it is expected that governance can become more adaptive, innovative and responsive to the needs of society.
