CEO, General Manager and Executive Performance Reviews

Supporting strong leadership and better outcomes for local communities

At LG Services Group, we facilitate performance reviews for Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and General Managers (GMs) in local government across Australia and New Zealand. These reviews aren’t just a legislative requirement – they’re an opportunity to support effective leadership, improve governance, and build stronger relationships between councils and their executives.

We understand that councils operate in complex environments, and that reviewing the performance of a CEO or GM requires both structure and sensitivity. Our role is to make the process straightforward, objective and constructive – helping councils meet their obligations while creating space for real conversation and reflection.

Why This Work Matters to Us

We care about the quality of local government leadership because it directly shapes the communities where people live, work and belong. Helping councils run performance reviews well means we’re supporting good governance, encouraging continuous improvement, and making the most of public investment in executive leadership.

Independent Facilitation

We create space for objective discussion, keeping the process focused, respectful and fair.

Local Government Insight

Our team includes former senior executives who understand the pressures and priorities of local government.

Strategic Alignment

We link performance expectations to your council’s goals, so reviews support your direction of travel.

Support for Mayors and Panels

We train councillors and panel members, so they’re confident in their roles and understand their responsibilities.

Focus on Leadership Growth

Reviews are an opportunity to strengthen capability, build trust and support professional development.

Legislative Confidence

We know the rules – our processes align with state, territory, and national requirements. We provide documentation that’s concise, accurate, and ready to support council decisions.

Let’s make the process easier.
