摘要

This chapter develops evidence-based recommendations to enhance the training of public administration and better the competence of the workforce for emerging challenges. This chapter revisits traditional PA—criticized for its rigidity, New PA—focused on efficiency from the private sector, and New Public Governance—focused on stakeholder engagement. The proposed framework of Wise Leadership underpinned by Intellectual Shrewdness, Spurring Action, Moral Conduct, and Cultivating Humility will be delivered via workshops, e-learning, experience-based learning, and ongoing assessments. This quantitative approach research study will seek to evaluate PA education and training, mainly in the areas of global trends and gaps, with a keen interest in the Middle East. It strongly stresses that curriculum development, in the amalgamation of basic theories with appropriate, culturally adapted practices, is very much coupled with the process of leadership development. But the research does suggest the confluence of strategic foresight, along with empathy for political transformations and social and economic change underway in the Arab region. By revision of leadership programs to undertaking of policy reforms, such programs may develop capabilities to strengthen the potential of good governance coupled with organizational effectiveness. Future research may discuss how principles of wise leadership contribute to sustainable development and stability in the Middle East.
