The third edition adds a new coauthor, Richard F. Griffin, Jr., who served as the NLRB's General Counsel under President Obama. It also includes the numerous changes in private-sector labor law made by the NLRB under President Trump, Janus v. AFSCME, and more.

In March and April 2023, Vice President Harris embarked on a historic trip to Africa, with a focus on investing in African innovation. In addition to her bilateral meetings in Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia, the Vice President met with young artists, tech entrepreneurs, students, women business leaders, and farmers, in an effort to highlight and advance the extraordinary creativity, ingenuity, and dynamism on the continent.

Building on these efforts, during her trip and over the past year, the Vice President has worked to promote digital inclusion in Africa. In her speech in Accra, the Vice President said that the United States is committed to build collaborations between public and private industries to increase digital inclusion on the continent of Africa. She said the United States will "double down" on our effort to mobilize millions of dollars in public and private capital from the United States, Africa, and around the world to increase digital inclusion.

To that end, in Lusaka, the Vice President convened business and philanthropic leaders to promote digital inclusion across the continent. In this convening, the Vice President issued a "Call to Action" to business and philanthropic leaders to make direct investments and social impact commitments in support of the Digital Transformation with Africa (DTA) initiative. President Biden launched DTA at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in December 2022, as part of the broader Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, to expand digital access and literacy and strengthen digital enabling environments across the continent. Since DTA's launch, the United States government has invested $82 million in new digital infrastructure, programming, and projects in Africa.

Today, the Vice President is announcing the following public-private partnerships, coordinated on behalf of the U.S. government and under the President's Digital Transformation with Africa initiative by the Department of Commerce, which are responsive to her Call to Action in Lusaka, and a series of additional U.S. government and private sector initiatives to promote digital inclusion on the continent.

There are a multitude of strategies, books, and resources that are meant to help you improve your leadership skills. But if you work in the public sector, do these strategies apply to you? What is different about leading in a public organization?

In this certificate program, Seth Harris, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor, will help you explore these questions. You will assess your own leadership skills as well as examine your own organization to determine its unique characteristics. You will also examine your employees and teams to better understand what motivates them to work in the public sector.

This program includes a year of free access to Symposium! These events feature several days of live, highly participatory virtual Zoom sessions with Cornell faculty and experts to explore the most pressing leadership topics. Symposium events are held several times throughout the year. Once enrolled in your program, you will receive information about upcoming events.

Are leaders born, or can they be made? In this course, we'll tackle this classic leadership conundrum, and at its conclusion, you will have developed your own perspective on what makes a leader successful. Using his experience as the former Deputy Secretary of Labor and background as a Cornell Visiting Professor, Professor Seth Harris will explore the skills and traits that make leaders effective in today's public-sector organizations.

With real-world examples combined with scholarly research, you will analyze and reflect on both the personal characteristics and the skills and competencies that define great leadership. You will have the opportunity to assess yourself and other leaders on these critical skills and traits using leadership assessment tools. Because this course focuses on public leadership, Professor Harris will walk you through the key differences between public and private organizations to help you develop a more thorough understanding of the characteristics of your public organization. With this information, you will be able to determine your leadership readiness and create a plan for the areas you want to develop to become a successful leader within your organization.

Are public organizations different from private sector organizations? Do they require different sets of leadership skills or traits? In this course, Professor Seth Harris will provide you with a framework that you can use to better understand your organization. With this understanding, you will be well positioned to determine how you can be a more effective leader in your organization.

There are many elements that affect every organization and dictate the type of leadership skills needed to thrive. You will learn about societal factors that affect all organizations, such as technology, demographics, and cultural conditions, as well as how organizations and leadership are affected by these factors in areas like mission, resource availability, and process. Additionally, public organizations have certain unique external factors that private sector organizations don't need to consider. These systems and structures, public expectations, and external influencers, which can have an enormous impact of the role of the public sector leader.

Lastly, you will explore the specific internal characteristics of public organizations, including factors such as the goods or service it provides and the types of employees who are attracted to public sector organizations.

Part of being a great leader is understanding why your employees want to work in a public sector organization, how you can motivate them individually and as a group, and what incentives and tools are available to do so. In this course, you will explore your own reasons for working in a public organization as well as the motivations of your colleagues using a well-tested survey tool. You will also determine what types of monetary and non-monetary incentives are available to you within your organization so that you can match them to the motivations of the organization's employees.

Professor Harris will also explore how certain leadership behaviors can be a strong motivational force. Many employees will only be motivated by a leader when the leader's style and behaviors meet the employee's needs and those of the organization. In this course, you will explore some of these leadership styles, assess the behaviors of leaders in your organization, and determine which leadership traits are compatible with which public service motivations.

In this course, Secretary Harris will guide you through several leadership models that you can use to identify the most effective leadership strategies for you, your employees, and your organization. You will perform a thorough assessment of the employees to determine their overall level of competence and commitment to the organization's goals. Focusing on the organization, you will examine the degree to which tasks are highly structured, your level of positional power, and the state of the relationship between employees and leaders.
