Stop Talking About Culture. Start Building It.

A 3-month, hands-on deep dive into organizational culture,
built for city and county leaders ready to lead with intention.

If culture truly matters in your organization…
why isn’t it being built with intention?

Not discussed.
Not delegated.
Built…and sustained.

Because culture isn’t what your organization believes.
It’s what your leaders tolerate, reward, and repeat.

And most cities and counties?
They say culture matters…while leaving it to chance.

What This Is

This April, we’re doing something different.

Inside the Municipal Leadership Development Circle (MLDC), we’re kicking off a 3-month focus on organizational culture:

• Weekly content you can apply immediately
• Conversations with leaders across North America
• Live training sessions from the Leadership & Culture Program

Grounded in ideas from books like:
Turn the Ship Around
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Unreasonable Hospitality

But focused on one thing: how you actually lead your team in the unique context of local government.

The Offer

For a limited time, we’re opening this up in a big way.

500 memberships.
$500 total.

You’ll receive:

• Full access to the MLDC community and weekly content through the rest of 2026
• 3 full months inside the Leadership & Culture Program (April through June)

“The MLDC’s mastermind sessions are the highlight of my week. The discussions are always engaging, and I’ve made some incredible friends over the past year.”  — Bill Wagoner, City Administrator

Why This Exists

Transforming city hall from the inside out isn’t optional…
it’s the work that determines what your organization becomes and the impact it has.

In a time of incivility, distrust, and frequent frustration, local government has the opportunity to be a beacon of hope, an example of collaboration, and the true model of community in action.

Urgency

We kick off our first live training webinar on April 16th.

And once the 500 spots are gone…
they’re gone.

“Our executive team joined the MLDC in 2025, and we’ve been so impacted by the content and community that we’ve now brought our entire organization into the Leadership & Culture Program for 2026.” — Laura Swain, County Administrative Officer

Stop leaving culture to chance.
