An online event for leaders going through LGR.For Director's and Senior Managers leading councils through Local Government Reorganisation
As LGR gathers pace, the structural changes are only part of the story. Behind every new model, governance decision and timetable sits a complex human response. Uncertainty, loss of identity, heightened emotion, and competing narratives can significantly affect behaviour, decision-making and leadership effectiveness — often long before formal changes take place.
Join us for ‘Leading Through LGR: A Psychological Perspective’, an engaging online session led by Lucy Trueman, Organisational Psychologist and Founder of Trueman Change. This event brings a distinctive psychological lens to LGR, helping leaders better understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and how to lead people through it with clarity, compassion and confidence.
Drawing on organisational psychology, research, and real-world experience, Lucy will explore how leaders can navigate the emotional and behavioural dynamics of LGR while maintaining momentum, trust and resilience.
This session will help you step back from the operational noise of reorganisation and focus on the human factors that can make or break change. We’ll explore:
LGR is not just a technical or political process — it is a deeply human one. Leaders who understand the psychological dynamics at play are better equipped to steady their teams, make sound decisions under pressure and lead with credibility throughout prolonged change.
This session offers a rare opportunity to pause, reflect and learn from a psychological perspective, while connecting with peers facing similar challenges across the sector.
Leave feeling better equipped to lead yourself and others through LGR — not just structurally, but humanly.
