Public sector organizations are an integral part of globally growing changing societies characterized by rapid technological and digital development. Digitization and external factors of constant pressure impose high standards for organizational performance, which does not exclude the public sector, which inevitably has to follow global and social realities. In this context, leadership is a key issue of organizational success and stabilizing influence on human resources that initiates and mobilizes forces for effective strategic development, whereby authentic leadership, innovative solutions and divergent thinking lead to constructivism in the public sector. The development of the concept of modern management of the public sector depends on the quality of work and organization, which is directly related to the degree of applied management patterns in public administration. Also, transformational leadership as a commitment and standard, along with the introduction of changes and knowledge management, becomes a reform opportunity for transitional societies and developing countries.
