Kamuda liderlik genel anlamda iyi yönetişimin ve daha özele inildiğinde de kamuda iyi yönetişimin önemli bir bileşenidir. Bu çerçevede makalede liderlik literatüründeki en son çalışmalar ışığında kamuda liderliğin önemi vurgulanacak ve Türkiye’de kamuda liderlik konusunda gelecekte gerçekleşecek olan tartışmalara ışık tutacak çalışmalar sunulacaktır. İlk olarak, OECD gibi uluslararası organizasyonlarda kamuda liderliğin nasıl algılandığı ele alınacaktır. İkinci olarak, var olan geniş liderlik literatürü dikkate alınarak liderlik konusundaki yakın dönemdeki teorik ve ampirik çalışmalar sunulacaktır. Daha sonra, kamuda liderlik Yeni Kamu Yönetimi anlayışı çerçevesindeki tartışmalar kapsamında ele alınacaktır. Bunu yerel yönetimlerde kamuda liderliğe genel bir bakışın sunulması izleyecektir. Son olarak, makalede sunulan bütün bilgilerin ve tartışmaların ışığında, geleceğe yönelik bazı önermelere yer verilecektir
