The new and current generation of CAOs are generally (albeit not always) a marked departure from those of the past. In particular, the current generation is much better educated, typically younger, more assertive, surer of themselves, and less likely to be asking for day-to-day guidance from their council.
Today’s CAOs are more open to new ideas and more welcoming of those who possess very different management styles around the table. If local government is to persist as a valued order of government, it will need to rely upon the ability and professionalism of first-rate CAOs to guide the delivery of quality services and programs and to provide unvarnished, apolitical advice.
