Harnessing the power of CEOS to help cities thrive
Today's metro cities are diverse environments facing complex political, social and economic issues that often fall into political gridlock. To solve this, some cities have tapped into the experience of their leading business executives to play a unique role in coalition-building for these tipping point challenges. These are the Urban Statesmen, corporate leaders who apply their business skills to societal issues like healthcare, water, quality of life and transportation.
Sam A. Williams has been the strategist to work with many Urban Statesmen in Atlanta, Georgia, on more than 15 major urban issues. He has now refined this innovative city leadership model and offers the same strategy and expertise at his company, Business City Partnerships and in his book, The CEO as Urban Statesman.
