In the dynamic environment of local government, leaders need broad perspectives, expansive vision, and acute awareness of the trends and developments shaping their organizations. As a leader in local government, you must have the skills to guide, coach, and inspire your staff – sometimes simultaneously – while encouraging others to communicate, accept responsibility, and problem solve.

Are you clear about the results you are looking for and the desired behaviours essential for the success of your city? Based on of a recent workshop at the Local Government Managers Association of British Columbia CAO Forum, this webinar aims to help you reflect on your leadership and increase the overall performance, motivation, and effectiveness of those you work with.

You will learn:

• How to more effectively communicate your expectations to staff to ensure you get what you want

• How organizational culture impacts performance and what you can to do shift it

• What you need to do to create an inspiring workplace and motivated people

This webinar is suited for anyone in a local government leadership role, from middle or senior level. Please share this with others who would find it valuable.

The webinar is on Thursday, April 23 at 11:00am (PST)/ 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Savings Time). You can register here.
