Jacaranda FM together with Standard Bank presented the executive business breakfast at CSIR International Convention Centre on the 15th of August 2014 for entrepreneurs.
Small businesses fail within the first 12 months of operating, yet half of South Africa’s GDP is produced by small businesses, which is why it is imperative that small businesses survive.
Nicola Tyler, a chief executive officer of BRG presented a talk about “Leadership Lessons from Legends”, using her great grandmother, the first woman to sell alcohol after the war as an example of great leadership. Buyani Zwane from the GIBS faculty expounded the topic of leadership in companies and keeping staff motivated in his talk titled, “Enabling sustained success- legendary leadership.” Other speakers present were Brand Pretorius sharing, “Inspirational leadership- the key to sustainable success,” and Riaan Manser’s talk about doing what you say titled, “There’s an ocean between saying and doing.”
A world of information and motivation was shared while enjoying delectable breakfast.
