Lessons on what innovation in gov looks like: 

1. Success is not all champagne parties and people saying yay

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)

Lessons on what innovation in gov looks like: 

1. Success is not all champagne parties and people saying yay

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)

"We want everyone to feel the welcoming embrace of a big hearted city." - Mayor of Durham on inclusion @ELGL50 #elgl19
Mayor @stevefordurham. Couldn’t agree more “Trust is the currency in government”. #ELGL19 @ELGL50
Coming up....

#ELGL20 location reveal. Where do you think we're headed? #ELGL19
Organizational culture work is hard, it takes time, you must be relentless, and you must have a vision. I always wish it got more than one slide in any presentation :( #ELGL19
The inequity of gender diversity at the top of organizations and systems is a pervasive problem. Partners in law firms, judges in higher level courts, commissions and legislative bodies... the representation of women diminishes in many areas as authority increases. #ELGL19
Discussing formerly justice-involved people: 

“To be city of second chances there must be an expiration date on what it means to hold people accountable” 

@CityofDurhamNC Mayor Steve Schewel

#ELGL19
Everything at #ELGL19 has been great, but I really appreciate the diverse panels and the effort put into showcasing strong, female leaders in local gov! Great way to finish the conference hearing from 2 female mayors and @kowyatt! https://t.co/jl3V1MKIwk
This lady! @sereniah is a boss and will inspire you to manage with empathy and empower your people. #ELGL19 https://t.co/AQ875e07mh
Durham is providing free legal services to help restore drivers licenses (for non-DUI offenses) for residents. Restoring licenses creates economic opportunity. Opportunity leads to hope. Hope builds community. #UpwithDurham #secondchances #TeamUs #elgl19 https://t.co/yIH6p2xG6m
Don't forget - we're recording aaaaallllll the #ELGL19 sessions and they'll be posted on https://t.co/bFTZiCYoY9 for all @elgl50 members to enjoy for free. #localgov #transparency #accessibility #sharingiscaring https://t.co/3wzNGZXijK
Don’t forget to act on those survey results! @cpshr #ELGL19 https://t.co/BIzj0ygBFZ
“I need to be surrounded by people who are on fire for what they are doing.” HR (the good ones!) are here to help get right people on the bus and the wrong ones off. #ELGL19 Ignite your team and take care of your high performers 🔥 🔥 🔥
“I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk to you.” 😬 CMs and management teams need to accessible, approachable, and kind. Spend time getting to know your staff and building relationships. #ELGL19
We see this in libraries, too, where a library fine -- often small, often old -- completely prevents people from connecting with resources. Libraries often serve as a gateway to other city services; imagine the power of removing these barriers. #ELGL19
Sometimes things are scary. And, it’s scary to do them. It’s OKAY to do things “scared”. Thank you @sereniah for the confidence to step up and do the things that scare us. #ELGL19 https://t.co/IZIlmBii0B
Common #ELGL19 theme this morning is the importance of a #mentor and the role it plays among #localgov leaders. 

I encourage everyone to seek one, and when you’re ready, to be one. https://t.co/59L8OaZJyr
#ProTip when you get this interview question “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Respond with “I want to be at an innovative organization with a great culture.” #ELGL19
Only 20% of Mayors are women (pop.30k+) nationally ?!? NC says ‘hold my beer’ #WomenLeadNC  @chapelhillgov @CarrboroTownGov @CityofAsheville @greensborocity @RaleighGov @CLTgov #ELGL19
Front load vacation, paid family leave, flexible work schedules... use progressive HR policies to attract talent. #ELGL19
“Washington might be broken, but local government works. And your residents know that,” Durham Mayor Steve Schewel at #ELGL19 https://t.co/ydOACQjVRj
Innovation teams will use tech when they’ve got a short deadline. Let people dive deep into a problem and they’ll fix a broken process, improve communication, or do something else low tech. #ELGL19
Strategic planning is really about answering the questions that matter @CroskeyChaparro #ELGL19 https://t.co/Hk74h3lL8y
Have someone help you not craft your message but communicate it better. #ELGL19

“Im not trying to take your seat. I’ll pull up my own.” @sereniah on including more people at the table creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace. #ELGL19
Want more @1stLadyOfWater? Listen to her appearance on the @GovLovePodcast. #ELGL19 

https://t.co/J0L8YImie2 https://t.co/w0Z8MQUuh9
Another theme from #ELGL19 is supporting your high performing employees and teams. If employees aren’t supported and engaged that performance level will decrease. Take care of your teams and build a good culture. https://t.co/Rxo1iPHPSG
Courageous @1stLadyOfWater shared at #ELGL19 that she began posting her observations of women in water then realized it was occurring in experinces of other women leaders. https://t.co/emhbVfoCG9
Process data can be as important as  outcome data. If we're not as efficient as possible, #localgov is not producing the best outcomes possible. #ELGL19
“Often the words good fit in the #localgov hiring process are code for discrimination against cognitive diversity” dang! @DKTangeman is speaking truth! #elgl19
“I’m a servant for the City that made me.” @aaronkfoley sums up #Localgov passion in a simple &amp; powerful sentence, &amp; why he is the Digital Storyteller for the City of Detroit #ELGL19 @ELGL50
"You want people that disagree with you." -@DKTangeman on #cognitivediversity in the #localgov workplace #elgl19 @ELGL50
"Great minds think differently. The world only progresses when individuals think differently and we don't become complacent in our thoughts." PREACH! -@DKTangeman #elgl19 @ELGL50
So much wisdom from @berthajohnson20! My favorite aphorism was “Employees who really want to do something will find the time.” 💯 #ELGL19 https://t.co/5pKNBmOaqk
Leveraging privilege is a lot like sponsorship. Use your privilege to build others up. Vouch for people. @TheMarshMethod #ELGL19
Your super rad team might be short lived. People won’t stick around if your culture bites. Help your employees connect inside and outside your city. #ELGL19 https://t.co/UKu6LAu1d0
"In Durham we do not build walls between people." @stevefordurham talking about love and the @CityofDurhamNC at #ELGL19. He's going big talking about immigration, police reform, gun control, and more. #Localgov has a role in these conversations.
“Do it scared” - @sereniah and “don’t be scared but don’t be stupid” @MissEdwardsCLT  #ELGL19 building a diverse and inclusive workplace isn’t for the faint of heart.
"How do we push our thinking to focus on impact and doing instead of what their business card says?" -Jamie Eustace of @baytownlibrary #elgl19 @ELGL50
.@aaronkfoley talks perception vs. reality at @CityofDetroit - "What can we do at the gov level to balance public perception of the area we serve?" #elgl19
Lessons on what innovation in gov looks like: 

1. Success is not all champagne parties and people saying yay

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)

@hanaschank @NewAmericaPIT #ELGL19 https://t.co/jz6k3oOWqm
“I’m not trying to take your seat at the table. I’m trying to make the table bigger.” Great response from. @sereniah for when you get pushback from dominant culture employees as you initiate DEI work. #ELGL19
Fascinating slide about the outsized power and influence of rural voters.  The most influential vote is in Wyoming. Provocative talk from the “rural shrink-smart project” at Iowa State. @ELGL50 #ELGL19 @BloombergCities https://t.co/XtmgTYJwn0
@1stLadyOfWater thank you for putting into words what many of us female leaders struggle with taking over roles previously held by males.  You are an inspiration! #ELGL19
Evaluation provides an opportunity to “help remove blind spots to running a business.” 

Performance Evaluation should be a collaborative process not an audit. 

— Monica Allen @MeckCounty #ELGL19

@1stLadyOfWater discusses what keeps her up at night in beautiful poetic song and completely validates what all of us women leaders face!#respect #ELGL19
"The county with the largest # of votes - LA County with 3.4M votes - had as many votes as the smallest 9 states by the number of votes cast, combined." - Andreas Berger #ELGL19

Mayor of Durham, NC @stevefordurham opening up #elgl19 with clear &amp; convincing inspiration for #localgov using concepts like trust, equity, democracy, communities &amp; broad-based citizen engagement. Clearly makes a difference to have champions at the top! @CityofDurhamNC @ELGL50 https://t.co/Ix4OiUCa5J
Strive higher. Improve everything. Damn right, Jamie!! #ELGL19
What if every city set a goal of replicating one promising idea from another city every year?  And how can we get better at knowing what others are up to and replicating to learn more? #ELGL19 @ELGL50 @BloombergCities #iteams

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)

Kicking #ELGL19 off in style wth the best Boss in #Localgov @CityofDurhamNC @berthajohnson20  who has led our Budget Department "to be a model for local government" and shows her belief in us by "never holding back employees who have ideas and want to try them." https://t.co/UzYQHHGgfF

Tweet of the day?!?! #ELGL19 https://t.co/lFKJdbc3SP
On local gov interacting with the media: 

Don’t be scared. 

Don’t be shy. 

Find a way to open up and talk about what’s important in your community.

Here's someone who gets @ELGL50!

"ELGL was this welcoming beacon, breaking down those walls b/t private sector &amp; governments. They do a great job of reminding us that we’re humans, &amp; there’s common ground when we’re working to make society better #ELGL19

https://t.co/EzuGGWn4Ho https://t.co/b5ytEJbT8u
Spreadsheets not PDFs!! Great advice for collaborating well with media. #ELGL19 https://t.co/UkuEz7TZUY
Innovation Coast to Coast #ELGL19 SO MANY IDEAS MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING
Lessons on what innovation in gov looks like: 

1. Success is not all champagne parties and people saying yay

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)

@hanaschank @NewAmericaPIT #ELGL19 https://t.co/jz6k3oOWqm
Can we talk about how beautiful the photos are in @aaronkfoley’s presentation? And Spotify playlists? #ELGL19 a conference for your eyes and ears. https://t.co/xBojxNr0v3

Lessons on what innovation in gov looks like: 

1. Success is not all champagne parties and people saying yay

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)

Confirming hunches: Most households don’t have the liquid assets to weather about 90% of financial fluctuations. If and emergency happens you are already in a situation that will put you into crisis. #ELGL19 #iteams
Headed to @DurhamNC today for #ELGL19 to talk municipal financial empowerment strategies!

Lessons on what innovation in gov looks like: 

1. Success is not all champagne parties and people saying yay

2. There is no “best” when it comes to team structure

3. It is not about technology

4. The work is hard (and people leave)
