Fourteen captains of industry. One hour of intense, candid and
often brutal examination with each leader. Courageous conversations
takes the reader on a privileged walk through the corridors of
corporate power, on a journey to the centre of leadership. What is
leadership? How have these remarkable individuals steered their
companies through times of largeness and, more recently, recession?
Has the board become an outdated model? Are visions, values and
ethics being sacrificed on the altar of profitability? Has
executive remuneration really gone too far? The ultimate goal: to
discover what lessons can be learned and taken on board for the
next generation of South Africa's corporate leaders. David Gleason,
a well-known financial journalist and columnist, gets into the
minds, and ultimately the hearts, of these celebrated leaders with
often surprising and dramatic consequences. Courageous
conversations is a fearless exposition of real-life leadership. It
stands apart from other books in the field of leadership with its
dual-analysis format: one analysis written by Gleason and an
academic analysis of each interview by Professor Stella Nkomo, with
contributions from Professor Derick de Jongh. Each interview has
been transcribed and copied onto a CD, which accompanies the book.
