With some exceptions, the business leadership culture of an organisation tends to mirror the political leadership of that country, be it good, bad or ugly.

nDeveloping organisational capacity and people development

nEnsuring compliance, governance, sustainability and societal responsibility

nIndulging in feel good, ego boosting initiatives and playing stakeholder politics
