Doing Leadership Differently

Lead with purpose in a complex world. Discover the nine competencies God-honoring business leaders need to thrive and make an impact for God's Kingdom.

About this Course

Designed in collaboration with development consultancy Xpand Africa, the Doing Leadership Differently course is based on their CEO Scan framework, which was customized in partnership with Ziwani to create a practical leadership program for the Christian business community.

Each session includes:

  • Illustration from Scripture with a corresponding reflection.
  • Video testimony of a business leader sharing from their experience.
  • Discussion questions for practical application and prompts for accountability.

We believe that transformation within community is powerful and that the best insights emerge from peer-learning and group reflection, so gather with your church, colleagues, business fellowship, or small group.

Each participant should download the workbook to capture their unique journey and guide them through the sessions.

Well-facilitated sessions allow for peer-learning and sharing between participants, which is where the most valuable insights often emerge.

Course Breakdown

Business leaders need to have the ability to see opportunities in complex situations and actively find innovative solutions.

The African continent is home to a huge variety of cultures. This diversity provides a unique challenge to business leaders, but even more so, a unique opportunity.

Business leaders can foster a culture of creativity and innovation within an organization and support the development and realization of these innovations.

Business leaders have the opportunity to generate significant social impact through all the activities of their organisation for the interest of the stakeholders.

In a constantly evolving world, business leaders need to have the ability to help their employees to navigate the transitional process.

The way we work keeps changing and business leaders can build resilience and flexibility into their teams by fostering a culture of honest and vulnerable feedback.

Business leaders should invest time and effort into attracting new talent and supporting young leaders in their growth within the organisation.

By creating a culture that allows for failure, encourages appreciation, and builds trust, business leaders can build an organisation that is resilient and principled.

To lead in a sustainable way, a business leader needs to seek a balance between work and rest, between boredom and overload and be able to admit their own limitations.
