Leadership Dynamics and Governance Challenges: A Case Study of Cabanatuan City?s Operational Inefficiencies and Sustainability
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Political Science / Public Sector Management
Abstract
This study looks at the impact of leadership styles on the performance of the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Cabanatuan City with respect to operational efficiency, project implementation, and sustainability performance. As noted in the study, ?transactional leadership? seems to be the most predominant style among the city officials. Although this approach brings some elements of order and definable boundaries, it tends to create inflexible structures that stifle innovation and teamwork. It is proposed that there is greater potential for adapting governance in transformational leadership and improved responsiveness to interdepartmental cooperation toward sustainable development. This is part of an ongoing discourse that seeks to examine the relationship between leadership and the effectiveness of public service delivery and aims at streamlining processes at the local government level.
