Core Competencies for Effective Elected Leaders <br />As outlined on the League of Minnesota Cities website, the purpose of core competencies for <br />effective elected leaders is to ensure City Council members are operating at high standards. <br />The core competencies outline specific behaviors which focus on values, vision and action and serve <br />as the foundation for a servant leadership mindset. <br />The proposed plan to adopt the core competencies for our work as a City Council will: <br />●Set clear expectations for onboarding new council members and reestablish expectations <br />for existing council members regarding a servant leadership mindset. <br />●Tell our story to community members so they can access a document to learn about our <br />shared expectations and behaviors for a servant leadership mindset, how we operate as a <br />council, and our plan of implementation of the core competencies. <br />●Assure council members have a shared understanding of behaviors for a servant leadership <br />mindset and can hold one another accountable to these competencies. <br />●Serve as a guidepost for leadership development for City Council throughout <br />implementation. <br />●Model high standards, shared expectations and values with staff at goal setting. <br />Proposed Purpose <br />St. Anthony City Council is committed to governing with a servant leadership mindset. Based on ten <br />core competencies, a servant leadership mindset ensures the Council will lead with values, adhere <br />to its vision, and act on decisions to achieve equitable outcomes. <br />Each Council member strives to ensure our behaviors meet high ethical standards, our interactions <br />with our constituents are respectful, our engagement seeks to listen to diverse perspectives, our <br />processes and decisions are transparent, and our policymaking utilizes an equity lens. <br />Attachment
