When the Structures Change, Who Do We Become? Part Two: Reorganising the Organisation, Disrupting the Self

While LGR is planned in spreadsheets and governance papers, something else is happening that never appears in the project plan: the quiet, disorienting experience of people whose professional world is changing in ways they did not choose and cannot fully control.

In Part Two, Dr Amanda Milliner turns from communities to the workforce and leaders navigating reorganisation from the inside: the loyalty that doesn't show up on any org chart, the impossible position of leaders expected to model certainty they don't feel, and the invisible relational work that holds local government together, and that is most at risk when the ground starts to shift.

This is a piece about what compassionate change leadership actually looks like. And why getting it right matters far beyond the restructure timeline.
