A report published by the Australian Centre of Excellence in Local Government (ACELG) last month, reported on the importance and dimensions of a successful relationship between a Mayor (or President) and CEO. The research finds that “having a sense of purpose, a clear and well?articulated vision, which is engaged via a facilitative leadership style, and roles well defined and negotiated will ensure local governments are at their very best in serving the communities they represent”. At Localise, we could not agree more. See the report here.
