"Moral Authority is Influence, and Influence is Leadership"
Leaders often become leaders simply because of their title of boss, supervisor, CEO, President, Director, Manager, etc. They can influence others simply because of that leadership role they play, but that is temporary. As soon as that title changes, or as soon as leaders go somewhere else, that person is no longer a person of influence to the group of individuals they served. This is how Moral Authority comes into play. A person with Moral Authority is a person of influence for an indefinite period of time, but this influence can be taken away immediately with just one incident that doesn’t align with the characteristics that define Moral Authority.
Elia Twigg wears many hats by working part-time for CONSOR Engineers, a full-service transportation design and construction services firm, and by owning two small businesses – Lantic Solutions, a local design and consulting firm specializing in septic engineering, small site plans, leadership and management development, and Bia CORE, a health and wellness coaching business that helps individuals tailor their health and fitness goals using information that is unique to them – their DNA.
Previously, Elia worked for the City of Palm Bay Public Works Department for 10 years, with her last 3-1/2 years as the Public Works Director, and worked as a design engineer at a small local land development company. She is a licensed engineer, and has a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, both from the University of Florida. Passionate about helping others become better versions of themselves, whether it is professionally or personally, Elia has served in various leadership roles in organizations such as the American Public Works Association (APWA) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). As the current Vice-Chair for the Leadership and Management national committee for APWA, Elia creates leadership and management content for the organization and has published several articles in the APWA Reporter Magazine, as well as co-authored the Executive Soft Skills Pocket Guide sold in the APWA bookstore. In addition Elia also presents in various conferences throughout the U.S.
Elia and her husband recently celebrated their 20-year wedding anniversary. They have two children, ages 11 and 13. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, fishing, biking, and working out.
