Session 1: Responding to complexity
Business leaders need to have the ability to see opportunities in complex situations and actively find innovative solutions.
Session 2: Navigating cultural conflict
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.
Session 3: Orchestrating creativity
Business leaders can foster a culture of creativity and innovation within an organization and support the development and realization of these innovations.
Session 4: Anchoring action in your local context
Business leaders have the opportunity to generate significant social impact through all the activities of their organisation for the interest of the stakeholders.
Session 5: Leading through transitions
In a constantly evolving world, business leaders need to have the ability to help their employees to navigate the transitional process.
Session 6: Building future-fit teams
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.
Session 7: Developing the next generation of leaders
Business leaders should invest time and effort into attracting new talent and supporting young leaders in their growth within the organisation.
Session 8: Creating a culture of trust and appreciation
By creating a culture that allows for failure, encourages appreciation, and builds trust, business leaders can build an organisation that is resilient and principled.
Session 9: Prioritising healthy rhythms
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.
