Leading in local Government Business

• Commercialism is not a science..it is a behaviour

• Awareness ...drivers, markets, customer behaviours, stakeholders expectations

• Gut understanding at all times of where your money is

• Decisive and be prepared to take risks otherwise your organization will stagnate

• Clear vision/direction.....i.e. A framework to take contextual decisions

• Win the war not the battle...leaders must maintain a long term perspective and a short term awareness
