Abstract
This work proposes the search of "syzygy". This astronomic term that means an alignment of three celestial bodies. In local government, these three bodies are the community (voter), the political body (council), and the city or country organization (employees). The goal of the manager is to orchestrate these three entities so they are all moving in the same direction. To obtain a syzygy in my own communities, I implement these ten points: the change process, bringing others along with you, conceptual understanding, citizen involvement, intrajurisdictional collaborations, visioning, economic consideration, multiple municipal businesses and strategic thinking.
