ARTICLE OF THE MONTH: The Public Works Leader's Balancing Act
In researching good articles to share this month, we found this 2004 publication from the
APWA Reporter, Tim Equels an Assistant Director of Public Works from Fulton County, GA explores what it is like to be an effective leader in the Public Works industry and to maintain a tricky balance between responding to immediate needs versus planning to meet future needs. Mr. Fulton touches upon subjects such as lack of leadership, garnering your responsibilities, prioritizing and looking/planning ahead. We found the information provided by Mr. Equels to be just as relevant in 2016 as it was in 2004.
