Reword/Paraphrase discussion- FARHATULLAH

In researching the similarities and differences between public and private leadership, Pacek 2010 states that “all organizations, regardless of industry, have different elements and cultures that will end up shaping different leaders.” That being said, there are similarities that exist between the public and private sectors’ styles of leadership. “Leaders from both sectors name similar leadership challenges.” Both private and public-sector leaders list personal leadership and managing/motivating subordinates as their highest priority. They also state organizational operations and performance challenges as third on their priority list (Ferguson, Ronayne & Rybacki, 2016). Bogaert & Van Keer 2009 summarize differences between the leadership of the sectors as “senior leaders in the public sector are more focused on monitoring rules and procedures and feel less freedom in the way they can manage.” Another difference is a study showing that public sector leaders are “more focused on long-term policies and on finding innovative and conceptual solutions and less on short-term results (Bogaert & Van Keer, 2009).”
