from The HaltingWinter Podcast · host Seth Winterhalter

Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week – The One ThingEpisode 306 of The HaltingWinter Podcast _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> This week's Municipal Leadership Development Circle Book of the Week is "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, and it has some unique insights that we'll be translating for effective leadership in local government. How many priorities are you juggling right now? Council demands, staff needs, community expectations, budget pressures, organizational initiatives? If you're like most municipal leaders, you stopped counting around twelve. But what if the reason you're not getting the results you want isn't because you're not working hard enough; it's because you're working on too many things? In this episode, Seth Winterhalter introduces the powerful framework from "The One Thing" and explains why it's perfectly suited for the impossible demands local government leaders face daily. You'll discover why extraordinary results come from radical focus, not multitasking, and how identifying your ONE Thing creates a domino effect that makes everything else easier. This is just a preview. Inside the MLDC this week, members are getting daily insights, practical implementation strategies, and conversation guides specifically designed for the unique constraints of municipal leadership.
