Wednesday Webinar: Building Trusting Leadership within the Landscape of Organizational Silos

Date: Wednesday, November 19, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM CST
Silos exist in every organization, and local government is no exception. Departments often operate independently, creating barriers that can limit collaboration and efficiency. Effective leadership requires recognizing these silos, understanding their impact, and building the trust necessary to work productively across them. In this session Tulsa, OK Fire Chief Michael Baker will explore how leaders in local government can identify and navigate organizational silos while strengthening communication and teamwork. Participants will examine how ingrained thinking patterns, social connection, and the concept of social capital influence trust and cooperation. With a focus on practical strategies and leadership application, this webinar will equip local government professionals with tools to bridge departmental divides, enhance collaboration, and foster a culture of trust across the organization.
