Andy Pederson: Called to the Chaos Leadership, Longevity, and Managing What Never Stands Still Episode 277 | The HaltingWinter Podcast City management is rarely calm and never static. It’s leadership in motion, shaped by responsibility, pressure, and moments that demand presence over perfection. In this episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast, Seth Winterhalter sits down with Andy Pederson, Village Manager of Bayside, Wisconsin, and President-Elect of ICMA, for an honest conversation about what it means to lead when nothing ever stands still. With more than 20 years serving the same community, Andy reflects on longevity, stewardship, and the unseen weight city managers carry, from natural disasters and infrastructure challenges to moments of tragedy that permanently reshape perspective. He shares why small communities can move fast, why relationships matter more than structure, and why leadership in local government is often less about control and more about calling. This episode is for city managers, administrators, and public sector leaders navigating constant change while still showing up with clarity, care, and conviction. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • Why most city managers never planned this career and why that matters • Leading through constant flux without losing purpose • What long-term stewardship teaches you that short tenures can’t • How relationships make collaboration possible • The human cost and quiet strength of public service leadership About The HaltingWinter Podcast The HaltingWinter Podcast shines a spotlight on the people behind our cities and counties, sharing real stories of leadership, responsibility, and service in local government.
