Staff effectiveness hits at the very core of effective local government management. Local government managers are responsible for promoting the one-on-one development and performance of each staff member, helping to sustain the success of the entire organization. Mentoring staff, cultivating leadership capabilities through facilitating teamwork, and empowering others through the delegation of responsibility creates a work environment that engages and motivates staff as they progress as a cohesive unit.
