Refleksjoner rundt paradokser, lederskap og læring

In this chapter we sum up and conclude the book. In the first part we summarize the four paradoxes that have structured the book. The four paradoxesrelate to conflict, administration, openness and democracy. We then discuss thenational Norwegian framework for local government, and to what extent andhow changes in for example national legislation can influence on the paradoxesand the tensions related to them. The third and last section focusses on the locallevel, and discusses how political leaders, individually as well as a collective, canstrengthen their political leadership through different activities at different are-nas for learning. In a brief and subsequent chapter, we give a practical exampleon how this may be organized.
