The complex nature of public-sector organizations, as well as socio-economic and technological transformations and upheavals, represent a great challenge for managers. Managers today must be strategists capable of dealing with diverse situations in a multidimensional environment. The issues of ecological transition and digital transformation require necessary adaptations that must be collectively managed and supported. Cooperation and collaboration among team members, adaptability to change, managing IT tools and effective communication are the keys to the smooth running of a department. Managers should also focus on collective intelligence and the need to collaborate. However, this can only be achieved if they are able to support and guide teams with precise objectives, while also considering the human dimension.
