How to Make the Emmys Better (latest issue of The Sternberg Report)

The opportunity to help Earnscliffe again establish a a presence in Saskatchewan and the prairies was exciting for me.

"They're sitting out there waiting to give you the city manager job. Are you gonna take it. Are you man enough to take it?" I have 4 stories that kind of capture the current zeitgeist of the city management profession. ➡️Duncan, OK (pop. 23,000) Chris Deal has spent the last 13+ years leading the Duncan Chamber of Commerce. He has no previous experience in local government. He was just tapped to become the next city manager for Duncan (link: https://lnkd.in/eUVKsxcn) ➡️ Meadowlakes, TX (pop. 1,900) They tried doing an in-house recruitment for city manager and offered $90-120,000. The results were lackluster. They are now spending $20,000 to hire a recruiter. From the story (https://lnkd.in/eQ9zXs8G), Councilmember Bentley Thompson said: "We really just haven't had a real good pool." ➡️ San Juan County, WA (pop. 18,000) San Juan County selected a Jessica Hudson who is currently the Director at Fairfax County Public Library in Virginia (link: https://lnkd.in/exRwZVTv). ➡️ Marysville, KS (pop. 3,400) Joshua Haverkamp was recently hired to be the city administrator. His only real experience is that of a management fellow for Kansas City (link: https://lnkd.in/eKUS5rAk). ---- Please do not misinterpret my post. I am not trying to denigrate anyone. I am simply illustrating time and time again that the market for city managers is wide open. There is so much opportunity. How many of you reading my posts continue to ignore the realities of this market? How many of you continue to tell yourselves that you aren't good enough or that you don't deserve to level up your careers? It is healthy and normal to have self-doubt. It is healthy and normal to be scared. Do not let your fears and self-doubt sabotage you. It is part of the journey. Now -- go out and get them to sign on the line which is dotted! ----- If you are an aspiring city manager -- you should strongly consider joining the American Association of Municipal Executives as a founding member. Be part of a community of professionals who will support and champion you as you strive to accomplish your personal goals. Go to AAME.org to learn more.

A bottle of water can cost £1 at the shop, £2 at the gym, £4 at the airport, and £7 on a flight. It’s the same bottle, but its value changes depending on where it’s placed. The lesson? Your worth doesn’t decrease because someone else can’t see it—maybe you're just in the wrong environment. If you’re feeling undervalued in your current firm or practice, remember: sometimes it’s not about your abilities, but your surroundings.

Stephen Covey’s Win-Win principle has profoundly shaped my approach to professional relationships and negotiations. It’s about seeking mutually beneficial solutions and fostering genuine partnerships. How the Win-Win Principle Has Shaped My Career: 🔹 Building Strong Coalitions: At Ygrene Energy Fund, I brought together industry leaders, elected officials, and government department heads to ensure policies passed by local governments met the needs of their constituents while helping Ygrene achieve its revenue goals. This collaboration expanded our sales territory by 10%. 🔹 Coordinating Major Contracts: In 2020, I assisted Grupo Eulen in securing a contract extension by coordinating closely with Miami-Dade's County Mayor and staff. This ensured 900 employees at Miami International Airport kept their jobs and maintained continuity of service. 🔹 Strategic Advocacy: At Becker Lawyers, my advocacy efforts led to a $14.5M increase in state funding for the municipalities I represented. By developing win-win solutions, I ensured that the needs of both the cities and the state were met effectively. Why Win-Win Matters: Adopting a Win-Win mindset isn’t just good ethics—it’s good business. It leads to sustainable success, stronger relationships, and a positive impact on all parties involved. As I continue my career, I remain committed to creating and nurturing win-win relationships that drive growth, innovation, and shared success. #WinWin #StephenCovey #Collaboration #ProfessionalGrowth #NegotiationSkills #StakeholderEngagement #CareerSuccess 🤝💼🌟

Leominster. Worcester. Peabody. Waukesha. Ashwaubenon. Mukwanago. If you've lived near these towns or moved near them you either know how they are supposed to be pronounced or learning how to pronounce them. On either side, you are clearly a local or clearly not. This week with my clients, the issue of good communication was the common theme. This came up in different perspectives. For some, it was how to communicate to their boss who may have less effective communication tools. For another, it was about setting boundaries around how being a team player can work for all. For several of them, it was working through hard topics-when people are pushing back or withdrawing. It is sometimes more about how you say something (just where is the emphasis in Mukwanago?) but sometimes it is about what you are saying. Charile Berens' skit in this video is a fun way to see how miscommunication can end up pulling the conversation in to different territory. And when you get Sheryl and not Siri how it can really help move things along. And if you wanted some tips on how to say the names of the towns above, give me shout and I'll offer some tips so you sound more like a local and not like the national tv broadcaster doing a news story and getting it wrong. https://lnkd.in/gu4N6V-Y
