When you think of the government, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you said, the president, you’re probably in the majority. However, it is our local government that has the most say over our day to day lives. Mica Lunt and Mike Wilson help local governments find and hire the right talent to help make our cities run smoothly and effectively, but it’s not without challenges.

Mike and Mica both started their careers in law enforcement and became servant leaders to their communities. As they grew through their leadership roles, they knew that the skills they learned in law enforcement were needed throughout their local governments.

Why?

Because now, more than ever, there is an extreme distrust for our political leaders. While this is mostly at the top of the food chain, that distrust trickles down into an apathy for our local governments. Along with that apathy, there are fewer and fewer people who desire to take on local government roles.

So how do they confront the challenge of finding the right candidates to help our elected officials lead our towns and cities? Through implementing “right-fit” assessment by using TriMetrix Assessments and digging into the role needed specific to each city or town.

Listen in as Mike and Mica discuss the challenges our local governments are facing, how those challenges impact our day to day lives, and what they’re doing to face those challenges head on. Then tune in next week to hear more about their individual roles and how they’ve come to be so passionate about their work.
