[Season 4 - Episode 61] Dr. Jay Donecker Part 2- The Fine Art of Being Mayor - With his Usual Humor and Candor, Jay Shares the Lessons He Learned About Getting and Staying Elected Mayor.
In the second part of his two-part interview, Dr. Jay Donecker talks about the lessons he learned being elected for two four terms as mayor of a small town, the first person ever to be elected who was not born there. It’s a fascinating discussion of the art of leadership, the value of political availability, not talking like a politician, and learning how to listen and to whom. And, perhaps most importantly, never forgetting to be yourself. In Part 1, Jay talks about being a veterinarian whose practice went from treating farm animals to clinical research to preparing for acts of bioterrorism on our food supply.
