Municipal Leadership Framework

MTAS is excited to offer our Municipal Leadership Development Framework (PDF) for cities to use as they plan their own leadership development activities. Developed from extensive customer feedback, our framework identifies key capabilities municipal leaders should prioritize and develop to effectively lead their organizations. The Municipal Leadership Program is developed from this framework.

I thought the course (layout, resources, content) and the instructor (knowledge, delivery, and engagement) were truly fabulous.

I took part in the [former] MTAS Municipal Management Academy and much prefer the condensed and focused version of the material [in the Municipal Leadership Program]. It seems very relevant to governmental operations today. I especially enjoyed the predictive index aspect that gave me real-time feedback on my current leadership style and increased my self-awareness. Thanks so much! Great content and fantastic instructor!
