Leading With My Glass Half Full

With his glass half full and strong sense of optimism, Peter Crichton tells the remarkable story of his unique leadership journey in local government and public service. Through his story and those of other town, city, and county managers he humanizes the leadership role that managers play by offering positive examples of the leadership skills that are needed to build a strong team, navigate, shape, and lead positive change in the dynamic, at times challenging world of local government. This book is a source of encouragement to people everywhere on the optimistic public servant and the often hard, painful process of change with over a dozen lessons on leadership to leaders and prospective leaders alike.
