Speech by Mr Tony Leon MP at the Tomorrow's Leaders Convention at the Sandton Convention Centre on the 10th of March 2009.
Leadership Lessons
This entire presentation is based on the assumption that your actions, your conduct, your values and your aptitude will determine the success, or failure, of your leadership role in the future. And I will illustrate some key leadership lessons I have observed in twenty-three years of public and political engagement, both here and abroad.
But let me start with a cautionary statement: our desire to see history and events through the lives of great men and personal stories of striving for success or even heroic failure, blinds us to the real complexity of politics, business and finance and leads us to find intention and grand design where often there is only chance, circumstance and luck.
It was said that Napoleon chose his generals because they were lucky. He also took the credit for military victories, such as the Battle of Borodino, where none of his commands or instructions were relayed and had no influence on the course of the battle. Many events in business and politics follow the same kind of sequence as observed when a clergyman is fortunate to pray for rain just before the unpredicted end of a drought!

The talent that will lead SA tomorrow
SOUTH Africa's top future leaders will gather at a major convention in Sandton in March to establish a blueprint for business in the next decade.
The Tomorrow's Leaders Convention “ the biggest of its kind ever “ comes at a time when South Africa and the world face economic turmoil on a scale not seen in nearly a century.
Although bankers and policymakers keep assuring us that South Africa will weather the storm, they are not too forthcoming with information regarding the country's financial position. Little is being done to provide global markets with information to show that South Africa is a safe investment destination.
