Description
A straight-talking guide for anyone brave enough to run for council, and those councillors and mayors wondering what on earth they signed up for.
From campaigning and chamber politics, to conflict, pressure, personalities and the occasional pear-shaped meeting, Beyond
the Chamber shows mayors and councillors how to lead well, stay grounded, and make good decisions when things get messy.
With practical tools and plain-English advice, you’ll learn how council really works, how to stay strategic (not reactive), how to handle conflict, complaints and community heat, and how to communicate with credibility, both inside the chamber and out. If you want to get elected and stay effective, this is your playbook.
