Good Stuff for Municipal Managers
Municipal Manager Friends, I finally had some significant drive time alone, which means that I got a chance to catch up on several episodes of City Manger Unfiltered podcast. I started following Joseph Turner last year when he was sharing stories about the unfortunate situation in Goddard KS and I appreciate that he continues to highlight some of the pitfall's of city/town management. Joe is tenacious in his defense of the "City Manager" position. I'm also convinced that he is being paid by the Kansas Dept of Tourism for the first minute of many of his podcasts. I'm apologizing to him now if I disagree with his assessment of my home (the one I was born and lived in until I was 21) state; I gave up on the state once the Dept of Tourism took the "Land of Ahhh's" tag line away. Back to the real story, Joe is doing some good story telling about the inner workings of Town Management and the need for personal development as will as avocation of the manager themselves. As with any podcast, the listener should have follow up questions and thoughts, you may even disagree with something he says, but if you are interested in what other managers are learning, dealing with, or have gone through, I think this podcast is worth a listen.Read full review »

I just bought Joe a cup of coffee. Everyone who listens should as well. He’s championing all of us in a profession that is rife with risk. He adds tremendous value to the space. Thank you, Joe.
