The Hidden Force Shaping Your City’s Future: Mindset & Municipal Leadership

Every city manager knows the moment: It’s Monday morning. Your inbox holds a pointed email from your city council, your most experienced department head just announced retirement, and community groups are demanding immediate action on emerging challenges.

In these pressure-cooker moments, something more fundamental than experience or expertise determines your effectiveness: your mindset.

Drawing from Carol Dweck’s groundbreaking research, this week’s episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast explores how your beliefs about growth and capability fundamentally shape your leadership impact.

You’ll discover:

• Why some leaders thrive under pressure while others plateau
• How your response to challenges shapes your entire organization
• What separates growth-oriented leaders from fixed mindset managers

But this is just the beginning.

Join the Municipal Leadership Development Circle (MLDC) for the complete journey:

• 5-part podcast deep dive series
• 5 companion blog posts with implementation tools
• Virtual book club discussion with fellow municipal leaders
• Access to a community of growth-minded city managers

The challenges of municipal leadership are unique. Shouldn’t your leadership development be too?
