Professor Dorota Joanna Bourne is a Professor of Leadership and Change Management at Henley Business School. She is also Head of the Henley Coaching and Leadership groups and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA).
Her work brings together executive coaching with broader leadership and organisational development. She focuses on identity development as a core dimension of leadership, working with individuals and teams to examine how they understand themselves and their roles and how this shapes their capacity to lead through change and transformation.
Her current research focuses on leadership, authenticity and identity, drawing on Personal Construct Psychology (PCP). Her work brings academic thinking into direct engagement with organisational practice and contemporary business challenges.
A distinctive aspect of her work is the use of PCP, which forms a core part of her expertise. She has published in this area and is an active member of the European Personal Construct Association and the Institute of Constructivist Psychology.
In her educational leadership, she specialises in post-experience and mature learners, with a focus on applied, practice-based education. Her work is grounded in andragogy, designing programmes aligned with contemporary organisational contexts and business needs.
