Hello, visionary leaders!

Welcome to the first edition of “The Leader’s Lens!” We’ve updated the name of our weekly newsletter, but our commitment to helping you navigate personal growth and professional success as a leader continues and aims to be even better.

In this week’s Leader’s Lens:

  • New Podcast: The Municipal Tightrope
  • Blog Series: Daring to Lead
  • August’s Leadership Insights
  • Leadership Boost Opportunities

Let’s sharpen our focus and expand our horizons together.

How much do you know about city management? Do you know who the city manager is for your city? It’s a unique job and after interviewing over 50 city managers from around the nation, you’ll see their job is like balancing on a high wire while taming a three-headed snake. Our new podcast series, “The Municipal Tightrope: Taming the 3-Headed Snake,” explores just that.

We’ve kicked off with two gripping episodes:

  1. The Tightrope Walkers: Who Are America’s City Managers?
  2. When the Snake Strikes: Confronting City Management Challenges
  3. Balancing Act: City Managers Share Their Winning Moves
