Rising to Serve with Brooks Williams | Ep. 73
About this episode
City Manager Brooks Williams brings a passionate but demanding philosophical approach to local government. He joins the program to talk about the importance of innovation and efficiency, accountability, employee development, and building strong relationships with your elected officials as he leads the City of Ferris, Texas.
Brooks recently published "Rising to Serve," which I can only describe as his personal love letter to public service and city management. The foreward was penned by the incomparable Tommy Gonzalez.
In his book, available on Amazon, Brooks sets out on a mission to reimagine public administration in this era of unprecedented change.
