Big Impact, No Ego: How to Be the Team Player Everyone Wants in Government

When:  Oct 9, 2025 from 13:00 to 14:00 (ET)

Please join us on October 9th at 1 PM ET to learn about the skills that make someone a highly effective government team player and more. 

In local government, the most valued employees aren’t just the ones who know their job inside and out... they’re the ones who elevate every team they’re part of. Being a true team player means more than completing your tasks—it’s about showing up with emotional intelligence, adaptability, and a servant-leadership mindset.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn practical ways to make yourself indispensable without making it about you. From checking your ego at the door and stepping up for new projects, to practicing empathy and putting others first, you’ll leave with the tools and behaviors that make you the person every department wants on their side—no matter your role, title, or tenure.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize key skills that make someone a highly effective government team player.
  2. Apply servant-leadership behaviors to build trust and strengthen team collaboration.
  3. Reduce ego-driven habits to boost credibility, influence, and career growth.
