City Managers Must Tell Their Own Story with Chris Mann | Ep. 141
Episode 141
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
Before becoming a city manager, Chris Mann built a career around public affairs, public relations, and political campaign messaging. In this episode, we talk about how important it is for city managers and other public sector executives to cultivate an image or identity that they can use to differentiate themselves during the job search process. By narrating your own story, you will be able to illustrate and articulate how your skills and abilities uniquely position for success. We also spend time talking about how we both pivoted from the world of politics into the city management profession and walked a very non-traditional path.
