Considering so many transformations arising from the "knowledge era", the State, in view of its power, through choices made by its government and made feasible by the Public Administration, is increasingly compelled to carry out effective public policies. For this purpose, public agents need to exercise leadership appropriate to the nature and purpose of the State, which is expected to be developed by Schools of Government through teaching adapted to the times, models, modalities, instruments, techniques and methodologies that achieve the desired objectives. This thesis was the result of exploratory and descriptive research conducted through bibliographic and documentary research, as well as semi-structured oral interviews and a structured questionnaire, with the purpose of analyzing the case of international cooperation between ENAP and HKS, extracting the elements of leadership teaching used in the development program for Senior Executives of the Federal Administration, and from these and the others collected throughout the body of research, propose a leadership teaching model to serve public agents in Brazil and consequent use by Schools of Government in the country.
