Hernando County Administrator was right to tell Commissioner Rocco that she was not welcome at the staff-only leadership meetings. Staff-only gatherings are meant to be just that, staff-only. Rocco's obligation, as a commissioner, is for oversight of David Hamilton's job performance, not that of his entire staff.
Rocco was quoted as saying, "We employ him, he doesn't employ me" in this morning's Hernando Today article. She's right on this point but needs to bow out of the staff meetings. These is where the free flow of ideas comes from in any organization.
Leadership involves hiring the person most suited to accomplish your goals as commissioner. These staff level functions are the responsibility of Hamilton. The attendance of staff-level meetings, without an invitation, is simply micromanagement of this administrator by Commissioner Rocco.
***It looks like the administrator has worked out the problem with Commissioner Rocco, according to this morning's Hernando Today.
