It highlights the fact that leadership, planning and performance management is essential in responding to these reforms. It also reveals that some councils have been able to assist employees to make the shift to an outcomes-oriented deliverer of local services while others have made much less progress and are still focused on the traditional, compliance-oriented culture of local government administration. - Reproduced Leadership Local government Australian Journal of Public Administration 43803 43803 43803 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 58, Issue no: 3 AR44205 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
