These days, politics is not the place to go if you’re hoping to find leadership role models, which is surprising given that political leaders seem to grab most of the headlines. Hardly a day goes by without the likes of Donald Trump and Theresa May on the front page. Yet despite their prominence, they serve more as cautionary tales of how not to lead than as lodestars.
Similarly, in the aftermath of the Christchurch attacks, while Trump in his typical style fumbled his lines amid criticism that his incendiary rhetoric had perhaps emboldened the perpetrators, Ardern became a paragon of what authentic political leadership could be.SA today appears to be lacking in such inspirational leadership.
Unfortunately, the misconduct is not limited to politicians. We have seen our business leadership falling short in recent times too. A forensic investigation into the collapse of VBS Mutual Bank revealed looting to the tune of R2bn. Poor corporate governance is said to have led to the failure of African Bank Investments. The leadership of companies such as KPMG, SAP and McKinsey are said to have turned a blind eye — rather than risk the benefits they were reaping — to state capture.
Leaders in business need to seek to reconnect the values of the organisation with the values of their employees and strive to create inclusive, ethical and sustainable organisations that grow the economy and opportunities for their people.
