Diversity of Work

To me, a job like a city or county manager is so unique, in that, one has such an immense possibility of worklife “paths” to take, in the course of just hours let alone days and years. The generalist traits (and approach) to municipal management is often maligned, but indeed it is the most positive “calling card” of the profession, in this author’s opinion. Financial management? Yes. Human resource matters? Yes. Economic development projects? You bet. Project management? Minutia and process stuff? Yea, those too. And to know the work that is getting performed is indeed work grounded in public service and advancing the community and building better lives for people and caring for residents? Icing on the cake!
