289: Becky Windt Pearson: Governing at the Edge of the World What Alaska Teaches Us About Leadership, Resilience, and Responsibility What does leadership look like when your city is the end of the road...literally? In this episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast, Seth Winterhalter sits down with Becky Windt Pearson, Municipal Manager of Anchorage, Alaska, to explore what leadership looks like in one of the most complex and demanding environments in North America. Anchorage isn’t just Alaska’s largest city; it’s a hub for healthcare, transportation, emergency response, and essential services for communities across the state. That reality reshapes everything, including infrastructure, budgeting, work-life balance, and what it truly means to “show up” as a public leader. This conversation goes beyond Anchorage. Alaska becomes a classroom, revealing leadership lessons that apply to city managers, administrators, department heads, and public servants everywhere. Local government leaders don’t get easy answers. They get real consequences. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about control or perfection; it’s about clarity, trust, endurance, and responsibility when no one else can step in. Whether you serve a small town or a complex city, Alaska offers a powerful lens on what leadership looks like when conditions are tough and the stakes are real.
