In this episode of Grow Great, Lisa Norris and Randy Cantrell challenge that mindset. The best one-on-ones aren’t about reporting upward—they’re about thinking together. They’re opportunities to build trust, coach and be […]

  Leadership is often portrayed as a straight path toward a clear destination. In reality, it rarely works that way. Every city manager, department director, supervisor, and frontline employee eventually encounters obstacles that seem to block progress. Budgets get cut. Projects stall. Relationships become strained. Plans that looked certain suddenly unravel. In this episode of […]
