The purpose of this paper is to advance a theory of leadership to try to explain how NPOs can overcome the various forms of voluntary sector failure described by Salamon. Design/methodology/approach – Examines the conditions under which leadership style is likely to prevail and the influence they are likely to have on the direction of local government reform. Findings – Advances a theory of leadership to better understand this problem and its implications for public policy. Originality/value – Adds to existing literature by demonstrating that leadership can ameliorate some kinds of voluntary sector failure. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Social Economics, 32(4), p. 291-306 | Publisher: | Emerald Publishing Limited | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1758-6712 0306-8293 |
