Leadership and organizational culture consulting that goes beyond a report
Solve your biggest leadership and organizational culture challenges.
You know the drill: One more consultant is selected, the project takes longer than expected, and you get some uninspired and uninspiring findings and recommendations to implement that don’t really move the needle.
But what happens when leadership and organizational culture consultants go beyond a report?
You get concrete steps, you get partners, and you get a plan. You’re encouraged, and your biggest challenges suddenly seem solvable.
You can realize your service delivery aspirations, and Citygate can help. We produce outcomes and results, not just another report. Our executive-level, practitioner leadership and organizational culture consulting team goes beyond a report because we care deeply about character development, your passion to lead well and develop leaders, and the vital role you play in enriching life in the public interest.
Get analysis and solutions with a broad array of leadership and organizational culture service offerings, such as:

Leadership Training and Team Building
Ambitious efforts require a passionate team, not just a consultant.
With our Virtual City Hall model, Citygate has expertise across nearly the full array of local government functions.
Our team of senior public sector executives looks forward to serving you. As long-time local government servants, we understand how important efficient and effective local government organizations are to building vibrant communities.
“I am really, really impressed. I am impressed at the exhaustiveness of your study, impressed at the honesty and candor with which you expressed your findings; I am very impressed at the constructive tone of it, and that you came in under budget as well. So, thank you very much. I think that this document is going to be a cornerstone for us really moving forward for the next five, ten, twenty [years], half a century.”
Luke Garrott
Salt Lake City Council Meeting
“Thank you so much for all you have done. And it’s so comprehensive, I know it’s going to take a while for us to digest it all, but I think you’ve come up with some really good recommendations.”
Mayor
Pro Tempore City of Vista, CA
“I really want to express my appreciation for this work that’s been done in a collaborative way in which the study was put together. . . . I’ve seen a number of studies start in the fire department and this is the first one I can remember that has actually been fully completed and brought to the council, and it was done in a very thorough fashion. This is the best assemblage of comprehensive information about the fire department today, as well as what our needs might be in the future, that I have seen. So thanks to everyone. Thank you, Stewart, for giving us our money’s worth on our consultant contract with you.”
Ken Hampian
City Manager City of San Luis Obispo
“I was absolutely thrilled with the report because it was very comprehensive, very detailed. I call it the ‘time-in-motion study’ almost and some of the aspects [are] ‘how does your paper flow? How can you make your processes better? . . . As a government agency, how can we provide better service to the constituents?’ And to us we think that this study identifies those things down to all of the small paper processes and flows.”
Rita Geldert
Retired City Manager City of Vista, CA
“I think Citygate has done a great job. It seems like you’ve been most thorough and even-handed in your evaluations and you’ve given us certainly a lot of suggestions and guidelines to work with.”
Council Member
City of Vista, CA
“I am very much appreciative of Citygate’s comprehensive view of all the issues. And you have been very candid and very forthright in the problem areas that you have identified and we appreciate that. Quite often sometimes people choose to gloss over those issues and therefore we never can get a real good handle on the problem to resolve it. And I very much appreciate your insight and your intuitive natures that you have all experienced in your government services and trying to identify where our problem areas are so we can identify for the public. I very much appreciate the idea and the comments that you made that we are talking about the citizens who come to the planning Department as customers. And so you’ve done a great service for us and we are certainly appreciative of all your efforts.”

Maximizing Workforce Contribution
Read the white paper on “Maximizing Workforce Contribution” written by one of Citygate’s consulting partners.
Every organization will face external challenges beyond their control. However, some of the most frustrating and costly challenges originate from within and have one thing in common: people. Therefore, the principle challenge that an organization will face is how to acquire, develop, engage, and retain the right people.
Citygate President David DeRoos says, “This is a must read for every organizational leader. This inside look at acquiring the right people, empowering them, and creating a high-performing culture provides a powerful strategy to influence the performance of any organization. I believe this is the ‘secret sauce’ for improving performance, productivity, and results!”
