Day 5 : Tuesday 8 November

Organizational leadership in practice
One Organization, many leaders - Prof Yvonne du Plessis

Yvonne took us seemingly effortlessly through the theory of leadership. Her easy and practical way of explaining the complexity of organizational leadership made it clear and understandable to me.

Don’t assume, know what your expectations are and also consider other’s. Leadership is never just about an individual, it is a process of engagement towards achieving organizational goals. Being a leader is influencing others to voluntarily follow you.

The art exercise, draw a self portrait of your leadership, helped me to get a clearer picture in my mind of my leadership style, and where to position myself! I prefer the practical to the theory.
