Abstract:
Goal driven leadership of appointed executives gave them an alternative
authority in dealing with the implementation of specific programs. The goals and
objectives are set to effectively implement programs. They have the knowledge and
managerial skills as they are have the technical knowledge on the study. However, goal
driven leadership possessed by the appointed executives is not enough to provide an
effective program implementation in the process. The presence of political constraints
that are powerful and influential hinder the effective program implementation in the
process.
Goal driven leadership of appointed executives lead to effective program
implementation if political constraints are absent. Otherwise, executives will have a
difficult time ensuring the effectiveness of the program implemented especially when
political constraints have the absolute power to challenge and veto the policies and
measures on the programs implemented.
In essence, goal driven leadership is not enough for appointed executives to rely
on in implementing government programs. The presence of political constraints may
severely affect the effective implementation of specific programs especially when
political constraints involve powerful and influential individuals or institutions.
