Embracing Higher Standards
|
|
Our work in local government puts us under the microscope. Society and the media place higher expectations on us than those in other trades and professions, and we expect more from our fellow public servants–elected or staff. Elevated expectations are rooted in the monopoly power of government: if you move to a home or apartment, you take the government it comes with. Plus, our work is funded with taxpayer money–money businesses and residents redirect to public agencies to solve social challenges and shared problems that only government is best positioned to address. Generally, every person has a stake/interest/concern in government–at all levels.
We should be proud of this higher standard. It can feel unfair at times, but it also shows us a pathway to be more than policy wonks. We have the chance to be an example to our communities or elected peers. It is an opportunity to demonstrate good leadership from a platform closest to the people: local government.
Elevated expectations are not a burden; they are an opportunity to rise to a higher standard for our communities and demonstrate how to be the best of humanity. When we demonstrate responsible leadership, thoughtful decision-making and act as good citizens, we make our communities better places. Hold yourself and your peers to a high standard. Now more than ever, our communities and social circles need it.
Onward,
