Leadership and innovation in the administrative state 1997 p.861-79 Apr-May The field of public administration, as well as the social science upon which it is based, has given little serious attention to the importance of vigorous leadership by career as well as non-career public administrators. The field tends to focus on the rigidities of political behavior and the obstacles to change. To reclaim an understanding of the importance of individual leadership the author suggests the use of biography and life history. The behavior and personality of the entrepreneur is an especially helpful perspective on the connection between leadership and organizational or institutional innovation. The case of Julius Henry Cohen, who played a pivotal role in the development of the New York Port Authority, is used to illustrate the connection between the entrepreneurial personality or perspective and innovation. - Reproduced Executives - United States Leadership - United States Civil service - United States Civil service International Journal of Public Administration 34266 34266 34266 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 20, Issue no: 4-5 AR34496 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
