Category: County Administration and Management (Best in Category)

Year: 2015

The Leon LEADS process is not a management philosophy or planning exercise, but a strategic transformational approach of aligning the County Commission’s guiding vision and strategic priorities with the optimized resources of the organization while instilling a people focused, performance driven culture throughout the organization. Leon LEADS is a continuous process of looking inward to strengthen what works (and abandon what does not), and of looking outward to leverage community partnerships and to receive systematic feedback from citizens, while providing ongoing adjustments as conditions change. By engaging employees and the public as co-creators of the community Leon County is able to capitalize on diverse perspective and talents in making important decisions that will shape the community for future generations. Leon LEADS supports and reinforces the County organization’s transformational efforts to ensure that no detail is too small to escape the people focused, performance driven culture. As a result of the innovation promoted through the LEADS process, Leon County is one of the most efficient county governments in Florida. The Leon LEADS has made the County a lean and efficient local government that is able to adapt and respond to the economic downturn while still providing quality services to its residents.
