The governing bodies of all cities and counties are entities comprised of diverse individuals who come together to fulfill a purpose -- hopefully, constructively. All are classic examples of what are defined as teams.

What makes teams achieve performance excellence is the relationships created among the players. Building a team is forging productive relationships focused on shared goals and a commitment to achieving excellent results.
Specific Neu & Company offerings address:

Council and Boards as Leadership Teams

  • Building the capacity to speak with "one voice" as a governing body
  • The seven elements of high performance teams
  • Coaching governing bodies toward peak leadership performance
  • The four arenas of council and board performance: goal setting, exploration and analysis, legislation, and community action

Governing Body-Staff Partnerships

  • Goal setting, policy making and implementation: a governing body-staff partnership of achievement
  • Defining roles and relationships within the governing body-staff partnership

Building Alliances

  • The "new working order" between elector and elected (shared democracy and decision making)
  • Engaging people through alliances to achieve a community’s vision for the future
  • Getting out of City Hall and the courthouse into the adventure of community
  • Government as a group of coordinated virtual organizations (an emerging 21st century model)

360° Feedback

  • Getting valid assessments on how well we are "doing the public’s business"
  • Performance evaluation -- based upon defined goals and responsibilities and how the governing bodies, management teams and other key players are performing
  • Feedback-based coaching and team development
  • 20/20 Insight -- a powerful and objective feedback tool
