Local Government Reorganisation is not just a structural or operational change. It is also a deeply human one.
In this Change Chat, Lucy Trueman explores how teams experience LGR from a psychological perspective, looking at the uncertainty, identity threat and change fatigue that can emerge during periods of transition.
The session focuses on the informal dynamics that often determine whether teams remain resilient or begin to struggle. While leaders may not always have immediate answers, teams still need ways to maintain trust, share pressure, make sense of change and protect performance.
Lucy discusses what teams need from each other during LGR, how everyday behaviours can either strengthen or weaken resilience, and how organisations can create the conditions for people to keep working well through uncertainty.
This insight is useful for leaders, managers and change professionals who want to better understand the people side of LGR and support teams through change in a practical, psychologically informed way.
