October 2, 2014 – As a veteran urban planner and local government executive, Leon Churchill has gained enough professional and real-world experience to say what kind of city and community management styles work and give the best results. In his capacity as an invaluable consultant to local government chief executives, Leon Churchill reviews and lays out some of the most effective management styles that are popular among civil servants and public visionaries.


Hoshin Kanri is among these up-and-coming management styles that local government officials have adapted from the various concepts business leaders use in running many of the world's most successful businesses, such as Visa, Toyota, and American Airlines. This specific management style helps organizations, both public and private, realize their short- and long-term goals. In Tracy, California and Reading Pennsylvania, Hoshin Kanri has been employed to generate 2,000 new construction jobs during the recession and lower debt servicing costs by $1 million for the two cities, respectively.


Certain aspects of enforcing local taxes and granting business permits also fell within the purview of Mr. Leon Churchill during his assessment of local government management techniques. For instance, many city managers, community councils, and mayors were quite happy of the decision California Governor Jerry Brown made to negotiate with Amazon regarding the strict implementation of sales tax for the company's sales. The compromise made between Amazon and the State of California resulted in the creation of 10,000 jobs for residents of the state, specifically for those living in the city of Tracy and in other communities in the San Joaquin Valley area.


Local governments, cities, and other forms of communities are the foundation of civil societies as these provide platforms for grassroots growth as well as genuine opportunities for all. Leon Churchill reviews show that it is important for cities to be open to new forms of management styles.
