December 17, 2001

This report is a sequel to an earlier report published by The Endowment, “Leaders Growing Leaders: Preparing the Next Generation of Public Service Executives.” This report examines how government organizations can take on the challenge of developing the next generation of government leaders. In “Organizations Growing Leaders,” the author examines five organizations within the federal government-—the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Western Area Power Administration, the Veterans Benefits Administration and the Social Security Administration—that have created exemplary development programs for their future leaders.
