This synthesis will be of interest to state department of transportation (DOT) personnel, as well as to other professionals in both the public and private sectors, dealing with the issue of leadership training and succession management in the 21st century. Workforce issues remain at the forefront of discussions occurring within the ranks of public agencies and throughout corporate America. Leadership development is viewed as a key success factor. This synthesis examined practices and programs in search of optimal solutions to this important aspect of state DOT management and operations. Program information is presented about practices and innovative approaches that address the development of transportation leadership in today's work environment. Four key subtopics were examined: demographics, recruitment and retention, leadership training, and succession management. Appendices offer narrative survey responses, leadership resources, and examples of leadership development programs.
