Setting and Enforcing Governing Body Boundaries with John Weidl | Ep. 27


Listen Later

Wisconsin City Manager John Weidl's boundaries were crossed by members of his governing body while out on paternity leave. This led him to start searching for another position where he was ultimately named as a finalist for a manager position in a neighboring community.

However, he withdrew from the recruitment and opted to continue serving as the city manager for the City of Whitewater.

We talk about the importance of setting and enforcing boundaries and why he decided to stick it out and work with his governing body to build a stronger, healthier relationship with them in this powerful episode.
