Every week, you’ll get insights and actionable steps to help you navigate personal growth and professional success.
Hello, Impactful City Leaders!
Welcome to this week’s edition of “The Leader’s Lens!” This week at HaltingWinter Municipal Solutions, we explored the transformative power of emotional intelligence in municipal leadership through Daniel Goleman’s groundbreaking book. The insights couldn’t be more timely as city leaders navigate increasingly complex stakeholder dynamics and organizational challenges.
As a city manager, you face moments every day where technical expertise alone isn’t enough. That contentious council meeting, the frustrated department head, the concerned community group – these situations demand a different kind of intelligence. One that determines whether you merely manage challenges or truly lead through them.
That’s why this week’s episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast is crucial for your leadership journey. We’re exploring Daniel Goleman’s groundbreaking work on “Emotional Intelligence,” specifically through the lens of municipal leadership where the stakes are high and the pressures are constant.
Imagine: It’s 7:30 PM at your latest council meeting. A routine agenda item has unexpectedly erupted into a heated debate. Council members are growing frustrated, citizens in attendance are getting restless, and your staff is looking to you for direction. In this moment, your technical expertise isn’t what matters most – it’s your emotional intelligence.
