The Clear Voice

The Clear Voice is a local government leadership podcast produced by Clear Career Professionals. Each episode explores the real world demands of leadership in cities, counties, and public agencies where growth is accelerating, expectations are rising, and the margin for error is small.We sit down with city managers, police chiefs, fire executives, municipal department heads, consultants, and public sector innovators who have led through crisis, managed rapid development, rebuilt organizational culture, and made high stakes decisions in the public eye. These are honest conversations about public service leadership, not surface level talking points.You will hear about difficult council meetings, community conflict, organizational change, staffing challenges, and the pressure of leading teams that serve entire communities. You will also hear what works, how trust is built, how culture is shaped, and how strong municipal organizations are developed to outlast any one leader.This podcast
