You might have been looking for the website of Oxford Leaders Ltd. The company is based in Oxford and some details are given at the bottom of this page. However, at the time of writing we are not taking any new clients. For more information about the company and its future plans, please use this site’s contact page to send me your request.
Meanwhile I continue to mentor leaders and advise charity boards in my own name. All my work comes by personal recommendation, and hence this little website. If you get in touch we will have a conversation and you can decide what to do next.
Meanwhile here is a short reflection on the leadership challenges for 2026:
Some things have not changed
- the joy of leading an organisation that adds value to civil society and international development
- the basic, generic principles of leadership and teamwork
- the need to learn and grow while actually on the job
- the global humanitarian need has not improved, and in some areas is worse than ever
- excellent resources for the public, eg: www.howcharitieswork.com.
Some things are new
- More than ever before we are aware of the strengths & weaknesses of our leaders
- there is a desperate cry for honesty, courage and integrity in leadership
- too many people mistake power, position or force for leadership
- there are some innovative practices in light of the emergence of AI
- long term charity funding is changing in structure
- UK charities continue to increase in professionalism
- there is now a vast array of publications on the theme of leadership
- many more people are skilled in the new communications technologies
…so this is a good time to reassess our own leadership skills!
