Working Wounded: Leadership, Pain, and Survival in The Machinery of The Public-Sector

Description

The story being told of public-sector executive leadership is incomplete.

Public service exacts hidden costs: dehumanisation by boards, political interference, relentless media scrutiny, endless oversight and the crushing weight of service without support. These wounds are rarely named and even more rarely healed.

Working Wounded provides a mirror and a hopeful window into what leadership could become when rebuilt around integrity, courage and stewardship. Through composites drawn from real experiences, this book gives voice to those who have been minimised, scapegoated or quietly broken, and yet continue to serve.
