Are you trapped in the productivity paradox? As municipal leaders, you might often pride yourself on being the first in, last out, and handling multiple crises simultaneously. But what if this dedication to productivity is actually holding you back from true leadership effectiveness?

In this week’s episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast, Seth Winterhalter challenges our fundamental understanding of municipal leadership with insights from Peter Drucker’s “The Effective Executive.” Through a compelling story of a city manager caught in the productivity trap, we explore why doing things right isn’t the same as doing the right things.

  • Discover the crucial distinction between productivity and effectiveness in municipal leadership
  • Learn four essential strategies for moving beyond crisis management to strategic leadership
