SUMMARY:

The professionalization of senior public administration has been treated as one of the main aspects of improving public management, placing the public leader as a prominent figure with the skills required for his performance. The Transforma Minas program implemented in 2019 in the Government of Minas Gerais has been seeking through the application of selection processes based on merit and skills to professionalize its leaders. As it is a recently implemented initiative, the general objective of this work was to reflect on the challenges and perspectives of the professionalization of senior public administration in the State of Minas Gerais considering the decision-making processes of the Transforma Minas Program and the perceptions of the actors involved. The study was based on a theoretical framework that contextualizes the theme of professionalization of public officials, especially in the Brazilian context and in Minas Gerais, management by competencies, decision-making processes, and professionalization models of senior public administration in other countries that served as inspiration for the Transforma Minas Program. The research had a qualitative-descriptive character and is based on documentary research, participant observation and ten semi-structured interviews with people directly involved in the Transforma Minas Program, including: managers, consultants, employees and participating candidates. Through the analysis of the data, it was observed that the Transforma Minas Program presents an innovative perspective in the professionalization of public officials in Minas Gerais by seeking a process for choosing leaders no longer based only on political criteria, but taking into account merit and competence. In relation to other professionalization initiatives already carried out by the State of Minas Gerais, the Transforma Minas Program differs by seeking a cultural change in the selection of leaders in the State in a broad way, and not only focused on specific functions or projects such as occupational certification and the public entrepreneur. In addition, it presented a more assertive competency mapping by focusing on the specific managerial competencies of the vacancy offered. However, some challenges are present for the institutionalization of the Transform Minas Program in the State of Minas Gerais, and consequently in the professionalization of public officials, such as: the need for legal guarantees that guarantee the mandatory application of the program for the selection of leaders in the State, and the need to legitimize the program in front of the internal and external public to the Government.
