A lot of people self-proclaim themselves to be "change agents" or transformational leaders who have changed their department or organization's culture. But a lot of this is fluffy, self-promotion meant to stroke the ego.

How many public sector executives have actual, quantifiable data to support these claims?

Durango, Colorado city manager Jose Madrigal is a truly transformative leader and he has the "receipts" to prove it.

We discuss his professional journey and his choice to become a first-time city manager in a new state. We learn how he was influenced by his dear mentor and how that manifested itself in Durango.

We also examine the benefits an improved culture and the importance good relationships with the local media can have on recruitment.
