Leadership paradoxes: An exploratory study in the Singapore public service

Bolden, Richard; Soon, S; Fang Yan, W

Abstract

This paper presents empirical evidence on the nature, causes and coping strategies for ‘leadership paradoxes’ in Singapore public services. A framework is offered that illustrates the challenges of working across different role, space and time dimensions. Conclusions explore the implications for leadership and organisation development in complex and contested environments.
