Episode 25 William Leach - #WisdomPersonified, conversations with Dudu Msomi

Loading player...
Teachers come in all shapes, ages, races, colours, educational level or lack thereof, class, fame or lack thereof and cultures.

William Leach, former CEO of Saatchi and Saatchi Africa and co-founder of The Leach Partnership, Sydney, Australia has been one of the most significant and impactful teachers and mentors in my life with regards to Living, Leadership and Loving.

His leadership instincts and courage at a young age, late 20s and early 30s, had him accepting opportunities to establish a Saatchi advertising agency in Budapest, Hungary at the end of Communism in 1990 and to lead the transformation and growth of Saatchi & Saatchi Africa from the end of Apartheid in 1994.

This conversation has in its belly insightful wisdom of how leaders can lead transformation - whether of corporate cultures or business models, with diverse workforces without destroying value or creating toxic environments. Infact , actually inspiring incredible bottom line results. A lesson that many South African leaders could learn.

William is a humble, kind and loving human being in all ways that count. It is rare that a human being inspires me in all spheres of life - work, home and play. He does. I even think, "When I grow up.....๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜".
Be inspired. Like I am.
