Leadership and all its interesting facets

John Moalusi has boundless energy. Founder of South Africa's first black consultancy. He talks incessantly about many interesting topics on leadership and leaders how they succeed and how they fail, and boy when they fail do they. We talked about leaders at home in government, in politics (there is a distinction) and in our various workplaces. We defined leadership, we discussed personal styles on leadership and I feel that I made a contribution. We talked about Tony O’Reilly, Madiba, Julius Malema (sorry that I place these two next to each other), Winnie and such interesting business figures as Jack Welsch and Warren Buffett. Lady Margaret Thatcher also featured, but rather ignominiously for once being on record as stating that she “Had no time for books!” As an information professional I find this statement irksome. Obama’s “Audacity of Hope” also made an appearance, with me stating that he wouldn’t have made it to the Presidency without Michelle! More of the same all day tomorrow which I will dutifully report on.
