Training Processes for Failing Local Authority Managers in the Arab Sector in Israel

The Israeli government appointed committees to failing local authorities based on the assumption that failure was due to deterioration in human resources, expressed in lack of managerial skills. The purpose of this article is to present previous research conducted with regard to the management of failing local authorities in the Arab sector in Israel and the guidance and training local leaders received from appointed committees after most shortcomings of previous leadership had been corrected. The goal is to train local leadership to a highly competent level of management, as well as to invest in raising education systems within local authorities.
