Lou Doliczny steps down as CEO

Dear Colleagues,

This is to announce that our Group CEO, Lou Doliczny will be leaving us at the end of February 2023.

Lou has been with Crossfields Institute since 2014 and has contributed hugely to the organisation over that time. She has been a strong and consistent advocate of our work, and as CEO has steered the organisation over the past 3 years through the challenges of COVID. We are immensely grateful to her, and she will not be disappearing completely, but may from time to time be involved in our projects.

Lou and her family have recently moved to Devon and she intends to find interesting professional roles as well as spending more time on another passion of hers – sailing. The Trustees would like to thank her for her amazing service and commitment over the last few years and we wish her well.

Trustees are looking ahead to the next phase for the charity and are committed to ensuring strong leadership and maintaining good governance for Crossfields Institute. We are keen to build on our network of affiliated organisations and continue to evolve as an organisation.

With this in mind, the existing Core Leadership Team will continue to lead the vision and values of CFI for the foreseeable future and are excited about this new chapter for the organisation.

If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.

Best Wishes,

Crossfields Institute

 

Reporting from ESRC funded Ethical Leadership Seminar

Charlotte von Bülow attended the 8th ESRC funded seminar in a series focusing on developing ethical leaders. The seminar was hosted by Sarum College and the focus was largely on elements of ethical leadership education and its impact on actual systemic change. Dr Geoff Moore compared the works of Rene Girard and Alasdair MacIntyre and proposed that, between these two approaches to leadership, there may be a model for leadership development. Dr Karen Blakeley spoke about the need for addressing not only individual but also collective spirituality in order to create real change. Dr Eve Poole’s contribution on Leadersmithing addressed the craft of leadership and the need to find the balance in practice between thinking and doing. You will be able to hear Eve Poole at our Research Conference at UWE 10-11 March 2017
