Industry report: leadership in sustainable urban water management

Source: National Urban Water Governance Program
"The report uses research findings, theory and research methods from leadership literature to closely examine emergent leaders in water management and related leadership processes. The report is designed to promote understanding of champions who operate at a middle management and executive level in Australian publicly-managed water agencies. From a practical perspective, the report provides new, evidence-based guidance on ways to build leadership capacity within water agencies to assist the transition to more water sensitive cities. This report also provides an insight into the enormous effort that groups of leaders in water agencies make to promote sustainable practices, often against substantial resistance."
