 Leadership at the Apex

Council/CAO Alignment Imperative

The Council/Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) dynamic sets the tone for the organizational confidence required to navigate complex matters. This alignment imperative is an ongoing process that requires shared expectations for mutual performance feedback and strategic excellence.  Join elected officials and CAOs’  from local, regional, Indigenous and Metis governments (& separate operating agencies) to explore collaborative leadership strategies with:

Gordon McIntosh – local government leadership trainer and facilitator

George Cuff – author of recent ‘The CAO’ book from Municipal World

Sheila Bassi-Kellet – Former Yellowknife City Manager

Pam Mood – Mayor of Yarmouth and current UNSM President

 

We will focus applied on opportunities to explore :

  • Council/CAO Covenant – guiding CAO & elected official commitments
  • Council/CAO Alignment Framework – establishing shared performance expectations
  • Civic Leadership Excellence – undertaking meaningful appraisal processes
  • Council/CAO Checklist – conducting political/administrative interface check-ins
