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!"

The Value of a Career in Public Service

I consider a career in public service to be a privilege. Every day I have the opportunity to make my community a better place.  Every day I have the opportunity to do meaningful work, work that matters.  Every day, I have the opportunity make a difference in someone’s life. Do you believe what you do every day is important? To some people, this may simply be a job. Perhaps they were only looking for good benefits, steady pay, or something closer to home. This job offers those things, but it also provides an opportunity to serve others. For those of us who have chosen public service as a profession, it is clear that the work we do matters. We directly impact people’s lives in very tangible ways. As a public utility provider, we provide necessities – clean drinking water, safe and efficient natural gas, wastewater collection and disposal – and these are critical to the health and well-being of a community.  Without us, without the services we provid...

What is your WHY?

Why Does Your Public Organization Exist?  Over the course of the past six weeks, we have talked about great leaders in the public sector - some very recognizable names and even a few obscure individuals, perhaps not widely known outside of their communities. There are many leadership lessons we can learn from each of these individuals, but a few characteristics stand out in each one of the examples.   Clear purpose Passion Trust All of the leaders discussed thus far had clear objectives in mind as they took on their leadership roles. Captain Abrashoff was committed to "running the best damn ship in the Navy." Mayor Rudy Giuliani's initial mission was to clean up the crime in New York City and return it to the great cities in America. His follow-up purpose following 9/11 was to recover, rebuild and restore New Yorker's sense that nothing or no one could kill its spirit. Rick Baker had a purpose which became the official slogan, "Make St. Petersburg...

A Particular Set of Skills

The 2008 movie Taken, is the story of a man, a former CIA agent played by Liam Neeson, whose daughter has been kidnapped in Paris by Albanian sex traffickers. 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 ...
