Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Foundation for Ontological Leadership Education (FOLE) continues to support offering the course, Being a Leader and the Effective Exercise of Leadership: An Ontological / Phenomenological Model, in universities around the world. In our Creating Course Leaders Program (CCL), we work with university faculty to develop and train themselves to lead this course in their universities. In 2024, we worked with 45 university faculty in 36 universities and colleges within 14 countries on five continents. FOLE received nearly 4000 hours of volunteer support from CCL Instructors, CCL faculty, and others who have completed our courses. In addition, we expanded our fundraising from private donors. Last year, FOLE supported the development and offering of our Course at the University of California, Los Angeles; Cavendish University in Uganda; the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia; the Medical School of Lausanne, Switzerland; the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne, Switzerland; and Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. FOLE also offered an online course in spring of 2024. We continued offering the various required and optional courses in our CCL Program, such as four three-hour live broadcasts, monthly conference calls on leading the course, and personal coaching. We also developed and launched a new Course in the CCL Program called 'Mastering Course Delivery'.-$18,857
