Africa’s Leadership Challenge

Widespread leadership challenges across the globe and in Africa leading to poor service delivery, increased corruption and rising unrest

A focus on short termism and the individual opposed to the long term and the community

There is a disconnected and fragmented approach to addressing the challenges facing South Africa and Africa

There is a severe shortage in Africa and South Africa of strong values based and ethical leaders who are community spirited and committed to giving back who will help address the many challenges Africa currently faces

Corruption Watch research in South Africa highlighted that many youth struggled to identify corrupt behaviours and that higher income earners were more likely to participate in corruption

Our Philosophy

1. There is a serious Leadership vacuum in South Africa across all spheres of Society
2. Leadership has the ability to drive meaningful social change
3. Values-Based Leadership has a ripple effect influencing not just the leader but those around them
4. Developing Leaders creates a powerful network of influencers
5. Values-Based Leadership improves accountability, ethical decision making, integrity and oversight
