Aren't You Tired...

... of reading negative news, fake news, and the latest salacious sex scandal involving some notable person?

I certainly am.

I initially started this blog back in 2015 as an assignment for graduate school. I recently decided to return to posting about my experiences with public sector management because the public needs to know there are more positive things happening in our communities than the media is reporting.

Previous posts in this blog have highlighted public and private sector leaders and lessons we can learn from them. These personal stories were the most popular among readers. Individuals can identify with them and imagine what they would do if faced with similar circumstances.

Future blog posts will highlight more of these individuals who have accomplished great things in their organizations and in their communities. Among these outstanding individuals, we'll feature:


  • A  general manager who transformed a struggling water utility facing community distrust after a lead pipe contamination scandal.
  • A CEO of a public transit company who turned around a system that had been hemorrhaging money for years and created a budget surplus in his first year on the job.
  • A sheriff who recognizes prison is for more than just housing criminals, particularly those with mental health problems. His techniques have led to reduced recidivism rates and the lowest jail population in 10 years. 

These stories and much more will be featured in the coming weeks. This blog is geared for an audience of public sector leaders at all levels. The articles shared and the insights posed are intended to inspire you to embrace your role as a public servant, to proudly walk among your community knowing the benefits your organization provides, and to ignite a passion within yourself and your followers to give more than just "Good Enough!"

In a now-famous line from the film, Neeson’s character, Brian Mills, warns the kidnappers over the phone: “I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have any money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills I have acquired over a long career… if you don’t [let my daughter go], I will look for you. I will find you, and I will kill you.” To make a long story short, the kidnappers soon learned of Mills’ particular skills and he ultimately retrieved his daughter from them, safe and sound. This scene resonated with audiences and the “particular set of skills” line has become iconic in pop culture, generating countless internet memes. The Mills character is not arrogant and he is not bragging when he warns the kidnappers. He ...

The Power of Passion

Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. – Ralph Waldo Emerson In the previous post we discussed the importance of a clear mission to a leader. In our public agencies, a clear mission is essential if we ever hope to get our followers to give us more than the minimal amount of effort necessary. We need a mission our followers can embrace and are willing to pursue with the same enthusiasm we, as their leaders, have. As public sector leaders, we must embrace a mission that we can personally be passionate about. Because without passion, our employees – our followers – will be indifferent about the work. There is no universe where indifference leads to high-performance. Passion, for leaders, has a few meanings. ...
