Introducing: The Municipal Leadership Development Circle (MLDC) - Save 50% During Launch Phase
Every week, you’ll get insights and actionable steps to help you navigate personal growth and professional success.
Throughout 2024, I’ve had the privilege of coaching and connecting with city managers across the country. While each leader faces unique challenges, one theme has emerged consistently in almost every conversation: the struggle with crucial conversations.
Whether it’s addressing performance issues, navigating council relationships, or building stronger teams, many municipal leaders find themselves caught between knowing what needs to be said and finding the right way to say it.
This challenge isn’t just about communication – it’s about leadership impact. When difficult conversations are avoided or handled poorly, they create ripple effects throughout the organization, affecting everything from team performance to organizational culture to community service.
As my Christmas gift to the municipal leadership community, I’ve created a comprehensive guide: “The Courage to Lead: A City Manager’s Guide to Essential Conversations.” This guide distills insights from hundreds of coaching sessions and leadership discussions into a practical framework specifically designed for municipal leaders.
