Today's Local Leaders guest is Kerryn Ellis, CEO of South Gippsland Shire Council, which was under administration for over two years before returning to elected representation in October 2021.

Kerryn tells Chris Eddy about the transition from administration to elected representation that required extensive induction and transition processes for the new councillor group.

The organisation faced challenges during the transition, including staff experiencing inappropriate behavior and tension in the community.

Kerryn highly valued the trusted advisors and a supportive network that helped her to navigate the challenges and lead the organisation through the transition.
