They bring a dynamic, spirited enthusiasm toward work and the mission. The new and long-standing employees have a deep sense of trust in each other and easily engage in spirited debates when making decisions. The organization is consensus-driven on most issues, with input and challenging ideas welcomed. The high-energy, high-output team is fueled with competency and balance. When the push is on, there is a high degree of shared accountability to get things done by working late and being available before and beyond normal hours. Once objectives are met, individuals recharge as needed. The staff size makes for busy schedules. However, the camaraderie and teamwork involved keeps everyone energized. The entire organization prides itself on ‘doing what is right for the community.’ There are no barriers to communication between the Mayor and Council and the Department Directors. The organization’s size makes it easy for conversations to take place at the sources of information without the Administrator needing to be involved. <br />Organizational Culture <br />Organizational Chart
