Choosing a Career in Local Government ManagementLocal government managers are similar to other chief executives in that they are responsible for the overall performance of their organizations. As the top administrator, the manager organizes and directs a team of department heads, supervisors, technicians, and support staff to implement programs and deliver public services. Many managers, particularly those in larger communities, have assistants who take on substantial administrative responsibilities. A career in local government management is not easy, but is extremely rewarding. Few other careers offer the opportunity to have such a positive impact on one's community.
