“…Another key task moving forward is to find novel and sustainable ways to develop place leadership capability and capacity (Worrall, 2015;Worrall and Jackson, 2017;Worrall and Kjaerulf, 2019). Leadership development has traditionally been the preserve of organisations (Day, 2011;Jung, Harrow and Phillips, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to foreground place as a critical and central concern for public leadership research, development and practice. Design/methodology/approach This invited essay draws on the author’s own research and development work engaging in collaborative place-based interventions with academics, policy makers and practitioners. Findings Place is one of six heuristic lenses in a Leadership Hexad that has been developed to interrogate and better understand leadership in a multi-dimensional manner. Place can provide an important theoretical and practical fulcrum for bridging both collaborative governance and collective leadership and public and political leadership as well as facilitating cross-sectoral leadership. Practical implications This essay argues that more time and effort should be invested into researching and developing place leadership to complement the already extensive efforts to promote collaborative governance and place-based policy initiatives. Place leadership development should be genuinely cross-sectoral in its ambition and should focus on developing emerging and established leaders from the public, private, not-for-profit and indigenous sectors to tackle place-based problems and opportunities. Originality/value This essay draws on experience undertaking academic research and conducting leadership development that draws from and feeds into policy and practice. It utilises research from geography, leadership studies, public management, public policy and political science to gain a more sophisticated understanding of the relationship between place and public leadership and how this can be harnessed to improve economic and social impact.

“…Toward its goals of raising awareness and training providers, UYTC promotes both individual and agency activation through service system coalitions that seek to mobilize and coordinate interagency, multi-disciplinary, and community-wide synergy as well as inform agency and systems policies toward community violence prevention and intervention (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019 ; David-Ferdon et al, 2016 ; Massetti, 2016 ; Mitchell & Ryder, 2020 ; Rosenblatt et al, 2019 ; Worrall & Kjaerulf, 2019 ). In addition to its Co-Directors national and local committee leadership, UYTC established an Advisory Board (McNeish et al, 2019 ) consisting of representatives from community and consumer groups as well as relevant public health sectors (e.g., mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, law enforcement, school, primary care, faith-based, youth advocates, mentors, city and state government liaisons, etc.)…”

Contemporary community violence has escalated into a national public health crisis with urban youth, particularly ethnic minorities, suffering disproportionate negative impacts. The Urban Youth Trauma Center (UYTC) promotes a trauma-informed continuum of prevention-to-intervention services that combines community-based and clinic-based manualized protocols designed to reduce and prevent community violence for youth and families. Based on a socio-ecological model, UYTC has the main goals of addressing community violence and related traumatic stress as well as co-occurring conditions of substance abuse and disruptive behavior problems in urban youth by: (1) raising public awareness; (2) disseminating specialized trauma-informed training; and (3) mobilizing service system coalitions. UYTC employs this evidence-based yet flexible structure for disseminating, implementing, and evaluating trauma-informed training as a means of contributing to the reduction and prevention of community violence for low-income urban minority youth and families who bear the biggest burden of this current crisis.

“…Recent years have seen significant growth in interest and research into police leadership (Cockcroft, 2014). Wider academic development of theory and practice in leadership more generally has generated support for plurality in leadership styles and approaches relevant to context and adaptive to ever-changing circumstances (Uhl-Bien and Arena, 2017;Worrall and Kjaerulf, 2019;Yammarino et al, 2012). Focusing on the need to create networks between people and to create space for people to think creatively and to develop solutions to problems has been shown to be key to effective leadership (Bäcklander, 2019;Doz and Kosonen, 2010;Keister, 2014;Uhl-Bien and Marion, 2009).…”

This article explores senior and strategic perspectives on the volunteer Special Constabulary in England and Wales, based on 38 interviews with senior police leaders. The strategic context and leadership of Special Constabularies represents an overlooked element of police leadership, given the scale and potential of volunteer officers to impact upon policing delivery and reform. The paper identifies tension between a traditional strategic paradigm that frames bounded expectations of the role of Special Constables, emphasising differences between them and their paid counterparts, and considerations of police reform which prompt different thinking in respect of practice, identity and integration of volunteer officers.
