Homerun Leadership® — IROD™ Facilitation Suite for City & County Leaders

Cut Your Meeting Times In Half

Most local governments don’t struggle because leaders lack experience or ideas — they struggle because group decisions break down under political pressure.

The IROD™ Facilitation Suite gives your leadership team a structured process that keeps meetings moving, aligns departments faster, captures every voice, and leads to documented decisions that hold.

“The app allows us to facilitate a strategic plan in 1 day!”— Dave Bartholomay, Mayor, Circle Pines

Watch How It Works
This Is What Your World Looks Like You’re in a council meeting discussing a major budget reduction. Finance recommends one approach. Public works pushes back. Department heads are worried about operational impact. Council members begin reacting before the full picture is even on the table. The conversation starts moving in five different directions at once. The meeting runs long. Positions harden. And by the end of the night, nothing actually feels resolved. So the issue comes back next meeting. Not because your leadership team is incapable. Because the process isn’t built to help groups make difficult decisions under pressure. And it’s not just council meetings. The same patterns show up in department head meetings, strategic planning sessions, budget workshops, and large-group resident feedback conversations.

The Problem Isn’t Your Team. It’s the Environment.

City managers and county administrators are managing:

  • Elected council accountability
  • Constant public scrutiny
  • Politically charged budget decisions
  • Cross-department alignment challenges
  • Union pressure and personnel conflicts
  • A nonstop stream of issues requiring group consensus

Most leadership teams are trying to navigate that pressure without a structured facilitation process. That’s why:

  • Council meetings become circular
  • Department issues keep escalating upward
  • Decisions fall apart after meetings end
  • Managers spend more time refereeing conflict than leading strategically

The issue isn’t the people. The issue is the process.

The IROD™
Facilitation Suite

25 years ago, Dr. Dave Webb discovered the science of decision-making while researching how leaders make group decisions under pressure. He’s used that science every single day since — going from a struggling assistant principal managing endless conflict to a superintendent with zero leadership turnover for seven years. Over time, he realized that leaders don’t need more leadership theory. They need a process they can actually see and follow in real time.

What he discovered is that teams don’t fail because they lack experience or ideas — they fail because they skip steps in the process.

The IROD™ Facilitation Suite solves that problem through a science-backed 4-base framework designed specifically for high-pressure leadership environments where decisions carry political, organizational, and public consequences.
