As we confront a world of fast-paced and seemingly insurmountable global challenges in the year ahead, public service leaders should remember what\u2019s at stake, bring a strong sense of integrity to their work and propel government\u2019s larger mission to serve all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s at stake?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our government maintains an annual budget of <a href=\"https:\/\/fiscaldata.treasury.gov\/americas-finance-guide\/federal-spending\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than $6 trillion<\/a> to provide benefits and services to the more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/popclock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">330 million people<\/a> who live in our country. It also serves as a unifying force during times of extreme stress and consequence, marshaling the resources to engender a whole-of-society response to a global pandemic, to natural disasters of all sorts, and to national security threats both at home and abroad. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong federal leadership is critical to ensuring that our government functions effectively and meets these challenges. As they create, manage, champion, develop and deliver strategies and services that help people, federal leaders must act as stewards&nbsp;of the public trust and commit to the public good to keep our government on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrity and values are central to strong leadership.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our country becomes&nbsp;further divided politically, it becomes increasingly harder to instill&nbsp;confidence that government will deliver during&nbsp;trying times. As a result, public trust in government is fragile and declining. The Partnership\u2019s research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/publications\/trust-in-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just four in 10 people<\/a> trust government to do what is right at least some of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why we need public service leaders of impenetrable integrity who use the oath of office to put the public first, stand for truth and are never swayed or influenced to change positions due to convenience or favor. To help in this endeavor leaders should hold near a reminder\u2014physical or intangible\u2014of why they serve: a photo, quote or other source of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Partnership, our <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/public-service-leadership-institute\/public-service-leadership-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Public Service Leadership Model<\/a> offers both career and political leaders a roadmap for effective leadership, outlining six core competencies and values that are key to making a difference in government. These include stewardship of public trust, commitment to public good, becoming self-aware, engaging others, leading change and achieving results. We know that leaders who <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/public-service-leadership-institute\/tools\/#Case-Studies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">embrace these values and competencies in their work<\/a> improve our country\u2019s overall health, safety and well-being. That\u2019s why we are working to codify them as the standard across government for effective public service leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Word-cloud.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36569\" width=\"626\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Word-cloud.png 737w, https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Word-cloud-300x203.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Conference participant answers to the question, \u201cWhom do you serve?\u201d&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Government should serve everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is important for public servants to know why they&nbsp;serve, it is equally important for them to know who they serve. Effective leaders who are stewards of the public trust, hold themselves accountable, uphold the values of integrity and fairness, and consider how their decisions will impact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/quickfacts\/fact\/table\/US\/POP010220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">entire population<\/a>, with needs ranging from economic security and old-age care to better accessibility and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Partnership, we bolster how agencies interact with customers by issuing data-driven recommendations, convening customer experience experts and championing legislative reform. Our annual \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/publications\/designing-a-government-for-the-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Government for the People<\/a>\u201d report outlines where government is\u2014and is not\u2014meeting the needs of our country, and highlights scalable strategies to reach everyone, especially underserved communities. When effective leaders prioritize these strategies across their agencies, they enable a more responsive, trusted and trustworthy government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cA stone of hope\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of the event\u2019s sessions, I concluded by citing a phrase from Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s iconic 1963 speech that is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/mlkm\/learn\/building-the-memorial.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">etched on the side of his memorial<\/a> in Washington, D.C.: \u201cOut of the mountain of despair \u2026 a stone of hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phrase reflects the true spirit of public service leaders. In a complex world with ever-present challenges, their skill, dedication and optimism helps government inspire confidence and deliver critical solutions that improve our daily lives and make a lasting impact on our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we embark on a new year, let us continue to support, develop and invest in these leaders\u2014or \u201cchangemakers\u201d\u2014for a better tomorrow.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Learn more about our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/public-service-leadership-institute\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>offerings and resources<\/em><\/a><em> at the Public Service Leadership Institute.&nbsp; <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s 2023, a new year, and with a new year comes opportunity to reflect, recharge and recommit.
