The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners were saddened when the results of an organizational culture survey came back to them Jan. 3, but most commissioners seemed to accept the validity of the report at the time.
However, some board members changed their tune at their January regular session, requesting Michigan Leadership Institute regional president John Scholten to provide additional data and address some perceived shortcomings in his report.
Scholten provided some more information to board chairman Ty Wessell on Jan. 30 via email, which Wessell shared with the Enterprise. The attached documents include the positives, challenges, and top issues about working in Leelanau County government according to the survey respondents. The lists are identical to those presented at the Jan. 3 meeting except for a number in parentheses after each item representing the number of employees whose responses touched on the theme or topic.
