Coaching for Legislators in Their First 100 Days
Posted by Robert Hargrove
I am excited to meet with Congressman Marty Russo next week for dinner in Boston's North End, otherwise known as Little Italy.
I was contacted by Mr. Russo’s chief consultant, Nancy Andriuk, a top Washington political strategist, about a month ago which prompted me to write a blog on the excesses of the Tea Party, with some tips for newly elected legislators emphasizing collaboration.
Mr. Russo, Nancy tells me, is the definition of tenacity with many years of experience moving legislation through Washington's congressional maze way.
The topic for our discussion is a leadership coaching and mentoring for new legislators, who both need to establish key relationships, take stands on things that match their electoral mandate and party, yet build coalitions across the aisle.
Sounds like a fascinating and intriguing idea, and I am sure I will learn much from Congressman Russo at this meeting.
We will see how it goes and let you know what comes out of it.
