Council's decisions are holistic, responsible, credible and durable: They will stand the test of time. Councilors spend more time talking about substantive issues and work together to address the short- and long- term needs of the community. With everyone setting aside personal agendas and working for the same boss, council delivers greater returns on investment. Meetings are shorter, more productive, better focused and less stressful. They are even fun to attend. Management and staff develop high commitment, loyalty and motivation and deliver more value to the municipality. Customer service levels improve and satisfaction levels rise. With an absolute clarity of who's the boss, councilors are courageous enough to make the right decision for the broader community, even if they might suffer negative media coverage, alienate their supporters, or even risk losing the next election. The ideal time to establish who is the boss is immedi- ately when council is sworn into office. The supremacy of the collective interest over any narrower interests is usually articulated in the oath of office. But this by itself is not enough. Here are a few ideas to reinforce the notion that the collective interest is supreme: • Conducting an orientation program for council, when examples are given of how narrow interests might come into competition with the broad community interests. The notions of "I am here to advance my own pet projects," or "I have to be accountable to the group that supported me during the election campaign" should be challenged and discarded. Establishing the supremacy of the collective interest at every meeting by displaying a poster with a statement to this effect and by a statement from the Mayor at the start of the meeting: "It is our custom to remind everyone that, as we work through this meeting, it is our job to place the broad interests of the community as a whole first and foremost. The private interests of individuals or the interests of groups within the community must take a back seat to the broad interest. The community as a whole is our boss."
