Confident. Certain. Poised. Prepared.

Jorge Garcia, a first-time city manager in Pismo Beach, California, embodies all of these adjectives.

He has spent many years readying himself for this moment -- his first assignment as a chief executive officer for a municipal corporation.

He is only one year into his tenure, but as you listen to this interview, you will come away with the impression that he's sat in "the chair" for a decade plus!

Jorge is the next generation of public sector leadership and he models a wonderful example for those aspiring to become city managers.

There are several really good nuggets in this conversation and in particular, his communications strategy with his elected officials designed to build trust and create confidence.
