As a veteran owned and operated organization, Arndt Municipal Support Inc. provides local government leaders the professional support they need to serve their community.
In our field, we as managers and our administration teams are often spread thin. Often times, some of the most foundational elements of our organization get neglected because we simply do not have the time it takes to overhaul the big projects that are vital for successful operations. That is why I am so grateful for the support of James Arndt. If you have not had the opportunity to work with James, you are missing out! He has helped the City of Berea to completely revamp our pay scale system including doing all the research and data compilation. He has also helped us to update all job descriptions and to make a 10-year financial forecast report. Mr. Arndt is professional, personable, energetic, and his skills are well-rounded. As a consultant he continues to learn and grow with market trends such as becoming a John Maxwell Leadership Team Member in an effort to help municipalities to promote teamwork and build strong leadership within the organization. James’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of local government is unmatched. I highly recommend partnering with him on any project big or small for your community; you will not be disappointed!
I highly recommend Jim Arndt of Arndt Municipal Services as a consultant to get your strategic planning process reinvigorated or off the ground. Jim is an excellent facilitator/consultant of the strategic planning process. He adapted his approach based on the audience in a way that helps get “buy-in” to what was an unfamiliar process for many of our participants. He was very prepared for strategic planning meetings to ensure efficient use of time. His previous municipal government leadership experience provides him with a wealth of examples of what has and has not worked for others, while giving him credibility to lead stake holders, department leadership, and the City Council through the strategic planning efforts. Jim has a unique ability to ensure all participants felt encouraged to participate, drove individual/group think simultaneously, and provided the plan very quickly following the engagement sessions. You will not be disappointed!
I had the privilege of attending Jim Arndt’s John Maxwell Mastermind Sessions recently. This experience was a game-changer! The insights and discussions with other group members have already helped me become a more effective leader. These sessions are a must for anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills. Highly recommend!
Really enjoyed the Mastermind Group. Please keep me posted on future opportunities to network and grow professionally. Finally, one of the best take-aways for me from the Mastermind book was the, “Thanks, I Noticed” concept. I intend to order myself some stationery saying, “Thanks I noticed” and make it easily available in my car, purse, office, and home so that I can shoot off a quick note to people whom I notice doing good things. Such a simple idea but one that can make a big difference. Loved it!
Thank you, Jim, for handling our strategic planning for the City of Greenville. Your company did an excellent job in engaging the public, city council, and our leadership team. Most importantly, everyone enjoyed the process and felt their voice mattered. We were able to establish three-year goals and the benchmarks to achieve those goals. Our city values have been better defined and everyone has a clear vision for the next three years. I have had numerous people tell me that it was so easy and productive. I am grateful that it was also affordable. We look forward to working with Arndt Municipal Support in the future.
Arndt Consulting recently provided DISC assessment training for the City of Freeport’s Director staff, and the experience was outstanding. Jim, our instructor, was both knowledgeable and engaging throughout the session. He came well-prepared with a variety of exercises that allowed participants to fully grasp the importance of personality profiles. The training helped our team better understand themselves, their supervisors, and their subordinates, ultimately enhancing organizational synergies and effectiveness. We highly recommend Arndt Consulting for any organization looking to improve communication, teamwork, and overall performance.
I was recently fortunate enough to be involved in Jim’s delivery of the DISC Workshop along with several City team members. Jim was able to help us connect our individual DISC Assessment results to our daily interaction with others and our management approach. He is so engaging, relatable and overall easy to learn from. The whole exercise was stress-free, interactive and left us eager to invest more into our newfound tool!
At Arndt Municipal Support, Your community leaders will find tools for success as stated by this elected official…
During my 10+ years as an elected official, I have attended numerous workshops, retreats and commission advances. Mr. Jim Arndt is one of the very best facilitators I have ever experienced. His tailored approach helps those participating find clear vision and alignment. He helps construct a plan to accomplish specified goals in a defined amount of time. Paducah, Ky is no doubt better because of our clear, concise and attainable strategic plan. From budgetary concerns to special projects, every detail is addressed. Mr. Arndt helped our elected body begin to create our future. He could not have provided a more rewarding experience. Such leadership is his gift.
I have worked very closely with Jim Arndt for over two years. He is honest, energetic, meticulous, personable and highly intelligent. Jim is most competent and brings success and blessings with whatever he does. I highly recommend and support him!
Jim was one of the first Administrators that I met that was willing to answer questions, give advice to new Administrators, and to mentor those in the profession.
