Leadership changes at LGA
The LGA has a new chair – and only its second female chair – after Cllr Shaun Davies stood down having been elected MP for Telford in the general election.
New programme for local leaders launched
The LGA has launched a new programme for local leaders, exploring the various complex and demanding challenges they face – ranging from crisis management to political changes.
The chief executive’s evolving role
Whether you’re a council leader, portfolio holder, backbencher, or member of the opposition, you will know who the chief executive of your council is.
Embedding ethics in organisational culture
The Nolan principles of public life – honesty, integrity, objectivity, selflessness, openness, accountability and leadership – are the benchmark for ethical behaviour, underpinning codes of conduct across the public sector, including in local government.
Collective leadership in social care
Leadership is often seen as a hierarchy, but I want to move towards a collective approach.
Next generation
The LGA is relaunching its annual challenge to find the sector’s top executive talent.
Local leadership
The LGA is run by its members, for its members. It is a politically led, cross-party membership organisation, representing local authorities across England and Wales.
Leadership talent
