About us..... Leading & Governing is an education and consulting practice dedicated to
strengthening democratic governance, representative government and the public values of liberty, equality, community,
and prosperity. Working with elected and appointed officials to engage their constituents, communities and each other
in public problem solving and strategic leadership and navigation, our clients include state and local government, municipalities
and municipal leagues, counties and county associations, city and county management associations, businesses, universities,
public schools and school boards, and other state and national associations. We conduct conference presentations and workshops on behalf of state
and national associations such as the National Conference of State Legislatures, the National League of Cities, and the International
City and County Management Association; teach in governance education programs for mayors and council members, county commissioners,
state legislators, and municipal and county administrators through the School of Government in the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill and the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia; facilitate collaborative
problem solving processes for regional bodies, local communities, and non-profit boards; and conduct policy
design and strategic navigation workshops for municipal, county, and public school boards and management
staff. We have written about public problems,
public decision making, the role of elected boards, public engagement, and strategic navigation for Public Management, Nation’s
Cities Weekly, Popular Government, American School Board Journal, ICMA’s IQ Report, and Journal of Public Affairs Education.
We are currently writing a book on preserving the public in public schools.
