What makes some city halls feel electric with possibility while others seem stuck in bureaucratic quicksand? How do some municipal organizations consistently drive innovation and excellence while others struggle to maintain the status quo? And most importantly – how can you transform your city’s culture from where it is to where it needs to be?

In this week’s episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast, we’re diving deep into Daniel Coyle’s groundbreaking book, “The Culture Code,” and uncovering the invisible patterns that separate high-performing municipal organizations from the rest.

What You’ll Discover:

  • Why psychological safety isn’t just a “nice-to-have” but a crucial foundation for municipal excellence
  • How strategic vulnerability can actually strengthen your leadership (and why most city managers get this wrong)
  • The secret to making your city’s purpose more than just words on a wall
  • Practical techniques you can implement Monday morning to start transforming your organizational culture

This episode provides a practical framework for balancing transparency with psychological safety in municipal organizations.

Don’t miss this powerful episode about creating the kind of municipal culture that drives excellence, innovation, and results for your community.
