Our speakers shared advice on how leaders can manage and drive change in their organizations based on the experiences described in their book – Bending Granite: 30+ True Stories of Leading Change in Dane County.
Kathleen Paris focused on how former Madison Police Chief David Couper transformed MPD into a more inclusive community-policing organization; Michael Williamson spoke about how former Madison Mayor Joe Sensenbrenner implemented TQM (Total Quality Management) practices, including worker input and data-based decision-making, to solve long wait times to repair and maintain city vehicles; and Tom Mosgaller explained how studies have shown more young teachers would stay in the classroom longer if given more access to best practices and mentors.
