Abstract
One of a political leader's key responsibilities is to persuade the populace to support a particular political position. The chapter's focus is on a study into the qualities of political leaders required for effective national management. Politicians, however, hold positions of leadership not only at the highest levels of government but also at the levels of local self-government and municipalities. The chapter tries to highlight the key issues that effective local self-government or municipal political leaders are defined by resolving. Sustainable management, which considers both the human factor in terms of ethical standards and political behavior, is today's model of successful management. The chapter will treat Serbia as a country that has recently begun to pave the way toward sustainability.
