Cybersecurity Leadership in Government
🚀 Leadership: Creating Public Value — A Harvard Experience Worth SharingOver the past eight weeks, I had the privilege of completing Leadership: Creating Public Value,an exceptional course from Harvard University that challenges public servants to think deeplyand act decisively.This wasn’t just another leadership course.It was a masterclass in aligning purpose, strategy, and action—using the Strategic Triangle to identify public value, build political legitimacy, and marshal operational capacity.
Whether you’re solving a complex community problem, building coalitions across silos, or driving systems-level change, the framework is both rigorous and actionable.
Through compelling cases—from Boston to the Netherlands—we confronted real-world
dilemmas, grappled with tough trade-offs, and reimagined what public leadership can look like when anchored in values, equity, and results.
As someone working at the intersection of technology and public service, this course gave me a powerful lens to reframe cybersecurity not just as a technical necessity, but as a public value—one that protects citizen trust, ensures service continuity, and reinforces democratic
legitimacy.
💡 If you’re a public servant, policymaker, nonprofit leader, or change agent looking to lead with impact, I can’t recommend this course enough. It’s a game-changer for anyone serious about improving lives through public work.
