Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

340: Jordan Villwock: The Culture Advantage
Q: How do you approach building and maintaining a strong organizational culture in a rapidly growing city?
It starts with clear, consistent plans that are communicated across the entire organization, a culture guide that outlines wellness and engagement, and leadership development programs that prepare people for bigger roles while keeping them connected to the city's mission.
341: Dean Huard: The Second Mission
Q: What steps should veterans consider when exploring opportunities in local government?
Begin with connecting on LinkedIn, reach out to ICMA to learn about veteran internship fellowships, and pursue internships or partnerships like SkillsBridge or Hire for Heroes to gain civilian leadership experience while still in the military.
325: Matthew von der Hayden: The Leadership Gap No One Is Fixing
Q: What was the biggest challenge and adjustment when becoming township administrator in 2019?
The transition involved shifting from a department-level to an entire municipality leadership role, building a culture, aligning multiple departments, and instituting professional performance processes. He describes late-night problem-solving, establishing trust, and creating a cross-department collaborative environment while navigating political dynamics and budget constraints.
326: Chase Bruton: Earning Respect, Not Demanding It
Q: What did you study in your undergrad and what was the draw?
I started as a business student planning to pursue accounting but quickly found that wasn't a fit. A class on Urban Problems and Solutions, taught by Orville Powell, steered me toward public affairs, leading to a policy analysis focus in tax policy during undergrad.
320: Dwight Boddorf: The Municipal Battlefield
Q: What advice would you give to veterans considering local government as a career?
Leverage your leadership experience, seek roles with immediate community impact, and pursue targeted training or fellowships (like the Hoover Institution program) to bridge gaps in local governance knowledge. Start with smaller roles to build credibility and scale up as you gain experience.
