Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week: You're Not Listening
Episode 405 of The HaltingWinter Podcast

We think we're listening as long as we're not interrupting. But most of us are just waiting for our turn to talk, and in local government, that habit costs more than we realize. This week in the MLDC, Seth Winterhalter digs into You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters by journalist Kate Murphy, exploring what her two-year investigation into the science of listening reveals for city managers, county administrators, and department heads navigating council meetings, staff conversations, and public pushback.

The MLDC
Leadership in local government doesn't get easier as you move up. The decisions get harder. The expectations get higher. And the number of people you can openly process those challenges with gets smaller.

The Municipal Leadership Development Circle (MLDC) gives local government leaders a place to keep growing alongside other professionals who understand the complexity of leading in local government.

Inside the MLDC, you'll sharpen how you think, strengthen how you lead, and turn leadership ideas into practical action through:

• Monthly Mastermind Sessions with municipal leaders from across North America
• Leadership Development built specifically around the realities of local government
• Practical Tools & Resources you can immediately apply with your team and organization
• Ongoing Learning designed to keep you growing throughout the year

You spend every day developing your organization, your employees, and your community.

The MLDC is an investment in developing you.
