How did your understanding of leadership and influence evolve between those roles, and what did you learn about power and accountability that most architects never see?

Kate WarpoolGUEST
Well, I think the city leadership Leadership just kind of a lot of people who are leaders at the city, if they're put in by the mayor, the mayor would would appoint different leadership.

Kate WarpoolGUEST
So like deputy mayors and directors often and sometimes deputy directors as well.

Kate WarpoolGUEST
They probably have a leadership background in other agencies that have come in.

Kate WarpoolGUEST
My leadership came in as administrator at the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services or formerly code enforcement when I started there.

Kate WarpoolGUEST
And, you know, I think that leadership structure is often kind of trial by fire.

Kate WarpoolGUEST
A lot of a lot of people are kind of gaining their feet under them when they're becoming leaders in those roles.
