Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week: The Speed of Trust
Episode 402 of The HaltingWinter Podcast
When was the last time you considered why a simple decision in your organization somehow requires four signatures and six weeks? It might not be a process problem; it might be a trust problem. This week in the MLDC, Seth Winterhalter breaks down The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R. Covey and makes the case that trust isn't a soft skill; it's an economic force with a measurable speed and cost.
From the "trust tax" that slows everything down to the five waves that build trust from the inside out, this episode sets up a week of practical, local-government-specific applications inside the MLDC.
The MLDC
Leadership in local government doesn't get easier as you move up. The decisions get harder. The expectations get higher. And the number of people you can openly process those challenges with gets smaller.
The Municipal Leadership Development Circle (MLDC) gives local government leaders a place to keep growing alongside other professionals who understand the complexity of leading in local government.
Inside the MLDC, you'll sharpen how you think, strengthen how you lead, and turn leadership ideas into practical action through:
• Monthly Mastermind Sessions with municipal leaders from across North America
• Leadership Development built specifically around the realities of local government
• Practical Tools & Resources you can immediately apply with your team and organization
• Ongoing Learning designed to keep you growing throughout the year
You spend every day developing your organization, your employees, and your community.
The MLDC is an investment in developing you.
