The challenges facing public sector managers keep coming. Citizens and communities want more and more services with higher standards of performance, and at the same time, they are less willing to pay more in taxes and fees. Similarly, generational changes in work ethic and career dedication make the leadership job even more daunting. These and numerous other factors make surviving and ultimately thriving as a manager an interesting challenge. Join Lew Bender, Ph.D, in this workshop as he identifies trends impacting leaders, examine the changing world of public sector managers, and offer solutions for building stronger teams capable of surviving and thriving in hard times.
