As we approach the final days of 2024, I’m reminded of Stephen Covey’s profound insight about proactive leaders: “They pick up the phone while others are letting it ring. They act while others are being acted upon.”

This principle has never been more relevant for municipal leaders. In my conversations this week alone, I’ve heard two distinct perspectives:

“I need to wait until the new budget cycle to think about development.”
“I can’t afford another year of reactive leadership.”

One of these leaders will transform their municipality in 2025. The other will be having the same conversation next December.
