What makes a public power manager a standout leader? We asked our awards committee members for the common qualities they see across winning nominations for APPA’s Individual Leadership awards.
- Presents new ideas
- Exhibits pride in their organization, employees, and community
- Supports their employees
- Focuses on quality over quantity
- Has and expresses a clear vision for the organization
- Models the culture they want to see
But also… one leadership style does not fit all – public power leaders are as varied as public power utilities.
