The relationship between municipal elected officials and staff is critical to the success of local government. Unfortunately, this relationship can be vulnerable to confusion over roles, poor communication, strategic misalignment, or lack of confidence. Municipal leaders overwhelmingly indicate that being skilled in political acuity – the ability to positively navigate the political/administrative interface – is key to personal leadership success.
LGAA is pleased to offer an in-depth virtual workshop where you and/or your staff will learn preventative and remedial strategies to enhance your relationship with council and lead to success in achieving your operational goals. Join municipal administrative leaders from across Alberta in this interactive, online workshop to learn and apply techniques and tools to ‘real time’ challenges.
The workshop will include contemporary concepts, examples and ‘hands on’ activities to:
Current or aspiring chief administrative officers, department managers, or supervisors who deal with municipal elected officials or officials that are appointed to local or regional boards, commissions, or agencies
The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Gordon McIntosh, CLGM who has 40 years of management, educator, and consultancy experience within local government. Gordon has conducted over 1,400 training sessions involving more than 150,000 elected/appointed officials and staff from regional, local, and Indigenous governments throughout Canada and overseas. Past session participants affirm that his dynamic and practical sessions enable them to make an immediate leadership difference. He will be joined by:
