Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm, but rough seas require creative, transformative leadership. Most of us want a leader with passion and energy to make things happen; but we also want to know that when crisis hits, our leader will take decisive action in a calm and professional manner. If “Cool, calm, and collected” was a person, you’d be looking at my next podcast guest and friend, Mr. Esmond K. Scott, City Manager of North Miami Beach, FL. Esmond is as hilarious as he is shrewd, worldly, super sharp, and charmingly unassuming.
North Miami Beach is the epicenter of Northeast Dade, a hidden gem, and mini paradise within our diverse County. NMB is a city bursting at the seams to take off and finally gain its own earned identity and personality. Tune in as we discuss Mr. Scott’s vision, challenges, and plans to further elevate his City to the destination of choice in South Florida!
Tune is as we discuss what exactly a City manager’s role is, the challenges of working in the public sector/government, strategies for dealing with the not-always-so-honest or unbiased media, exciting new development and transit/transportation plans for North Miami, FL, Superbowl 2020, #BlackChef, the importance of creating and fostering a legacy, and what’s up next for Larry M. Spring.
