[moray.gov.uk/news/](moray.gov.uk/news/)[ ](moray.gov.uk/news/)[moray-council-](moray-council-)announces-interimchief-executive  \nTaking up the reins from the end of May, John Mundell joins us at an important time in the council’s lifecycle. We’re faced with more budget decisions that can be described as challenging and, while there are nuggets of positivity, a Best Value report (see page 8) that highlights where improvements are still needed.  \nWe introduced John in March but we wanted to find out what makes him tick, and what made him choose Moray as his next port-ofcall. We found out when we met up with him a few days into his handover with Roddy.  \n“I’ve always felt the biggest compliment somebody can give you is to ask you foryour help. I really get a buzz out of helping people and organisations to improve so that staff and service users feel proud about what they’ve got and what more can be achieved.”  \nRecognising Moray Council is heading in the right direction, John continues: “I want  \nto release the talent and let that talent within the organisation feel safe, trusted and confident to be able to showcase what they can do. I love seeing people thrive and flourish.”  \nJohn sees his role as creating the environment to allow that to happen: “I don’t have all the answers, I’ve got lots of experience and skills I bring to the team, but everyone has their part to play in working together to overcome the many challenges the council and our communities face. We’re all committed to public service and in an organisation that exists to provide essential services and makes things better for folk, we can all claim positive outcomes when we successfully pull together as a team and deliver efficient and effective services.”  \nWhen asked about his style and ways of working, John admits hybrid working will take some adjustment for him, as it has for all of us, but is getting more used to what  \nthat way of working looks like now.  \n“I believe I’m personable and I like to see people and speak to th","cbCaitWcPWUfQnPJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitWcPWUfQnPJ","pdf",2856176,26,"English","# Contents\n## Editorial\n## John Mundell – Interim Chief Executive\n## For all your comms needs – comms hub on Interchange\n## Policy update\n## What’s Live on CLIVE?\n## Best Value in Moray Council report\n## Councillor’s Corner, Ward 8: Forres\n## Moray’s Dandelion Project launches\n## Learning Estate Update\n## Staff pool bikes\n## Digital Champions: bridging the digital skills gap\n## CYCLE2WORK 2024 – now open for applications!\n## STAR AWARDS are coming...\n## Not All Superheroes Wear Capes\n## Don’t get phished – get trained!\n## Moray and Banffshire Heroes Awards\n## Want to find a trader you can trust?","[{\"question\":\"Who is featured as the interim Chief Executive, and what is his focus?\",\"answer\":\"John Mundell is introduced as the interim Chief Executive.
