Every year the Oasis Foundation supports two bursary places on our Real Leaders programme. This programme enables leaders to develop the skills they need to lead with confidence, to thrive in change and to collaborate in genuinely effective relationships. Ruth Mulryne is Director of Women’s Health Matters, a charity working to reduce health inequalities experienced by women from communities across Leeds. She was awarded one of the two bursary places this year. We spoke with her recently to find out what impact the programme was having.

We believe that good governance starts with the planet and ends with ourselves – the whole person.

There is no single ‘Self’, there is no one type of ‘Leader’. Furthermore, I cannot get frustrated by people putting me in a box because in actual fact I am often the one drawing the lines and I am also the one with the power to rub them out.

Anger gets a bad press. It is mostly perceived as an emotion that needs to be managed and controlled. Understandably so, especially in these turbulent times.

Gillian Chivinge has a bursary from the Oasis Foundation to act as an intern on the WLD, part of our commitment to supporting leaders of tomorrow. The theme for 2019 is ‘Reimagining Leadership’.

There’s an old adage in the scientific world. It suggests that significant change in any field of thought comes with the death of a leading light. It’s only then that new and different approaches open up new avenues of exploration and experimentation. Death precipitates a paradigm shift. As an aside, I’ve come to believe that the same is true in life generally: each death is also a liberation, even if we don’t realise it at the time.

This year the RAW network has been exploring the topic of Resilience and Wellbeing in their work worlds through the lens of the AVIRA framework; Awareness, Vision, Imagination, Responsibility and Action.

In an organisational setting conflict gets in the way. You want people to work together in a team, to communicate and to have a common purpose.

In the latest in our series of interviews with inspiring leaders, we spoke to John Knights, the Co-founder and Chairman of LeaderShape Global.
