George Cuff on Mastering Municipal Leadership

I think the huge challenge- and it's absolutely fundamental- is this whole issue of role clarity.
Ever wondered how a city really runs smoothly? In this episode of MuniCast, SUMA sits down with George Cuff, a seasoned municipal expert and former mayor of Spruce Grove, Alberta. With over a decade of experience as mayor and leadership roles in the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), Cuff shares his wealth of knowledge on effective governance.
He dives into the nitty-gritty of managing conflicts, delegating tasks, and ensuring clear roles between council members and administrators. One highlight is his take on the critical need for councils to review their chief administrative officer (CAO) regularly to maintain alignment and efficiency. Another key point is the importance of succession planning and public education about local government functions.
If you're keen to understand the behind-the-scenes workings of municipal leadership or are involved in community governance, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice from a true expert.
