This seems a lot easier said than done for two reasons. First off, like I mentioned before, it’s going to be a lot more difficult to assemble a large enough group of players given the shortcomings of the previous council and this council presenting no real initial improvements over the previous. Second, even if staff do get behind the reformed council, who’s to say that’s the bridge from the council to management? Clearly having staff behind the project in the past proved to be unsuccessful.
Best of luck with this—I hope that your plan works out, but I think there’s a lot more work to be done.
