Governments form the cornerstone of societal functioning, addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by humanity today. At the same time, public sector leadership navigates its own challenges, such as tighter budgets, a greater emphasis on measurable results, rapid technological advancements, among others. In this dynamic environment, government leaders need to rethink everything from governance structures to service delivery models, requiring a new set of leadership qualities for public service and leaders with deep experience creating strategies that are viable and sustainable.
Grounded in real industry experience, our team understands your challenges because we have faced them ourselves. Comprised by former diplomats, senior officers in intergovernmental agencies, political advisors, among others, the Egon Zehnder Public Administration Practice helps the boards and chief executives find the leadership solutions they need in this new environment. Beyond helping search committees identify and recruit chief executives and build top leadership teams, we also help boards evaluate their performance and recruit directors whose networks and experience can provide an important bridge to the private sector.
We serve a broad range of institutions, reflecting the nature of our clients and the in-depth knowledge and specialist skills of our global team.
