A Leadership Guide for Local Government — Built from the 2025 World Happiness Report

Most leadership content isn’t built for public service.
It assumes control. Predictability. One boss.

Local government is different.
You’re managing in a high-stakes environment—
with limited trust, shifting boards, and fragile morale.

This guide was built from the inside:
Real case studies. World Happiness Report data.
Think Tank insights from city and county executives.

It gives you what other resources don’t:
A way to lead culture forward—on purpose.

About the World Happiness Report

The World Happiness Report is an independent publication of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), powered by data from Gallup’s World Poll and produced in collaboration with researchers from around the world.

How This Guide Connects—And Why It’s Different

This guide is an independent work. It was created by Imagine That Performance as a leadership application tool for public sector executives. While grounded in the data and themes of the 2025 World Happiness Report, it offers a distinctly local government lens—focused on the realities of city and county leadership, board dynamics, and institutional culture.

It was built for leaders who need more than inspiration.
It’s for those who want to lead trust intentionally—before culture drifts or momentum fades.
