Leadership Development

South Africa has been grappling with poor leadership in both character and skills for a long time. This has resulted in corruption, mismanagement, and a lack of accountability in many sectors of society, including politics, business, and education. It is therefore imperative that we invest in developing the next generation of leaders, starting with our young people in school.

Leadership skills are not innate, but rather learned and developed over time. By providing young people with the opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills, we can help them become effective and ethical leaders who can make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

Our programmes are designed to help learners build self-awareness, self-confidence, and resilience. They also teach important communication and problem-solving skills, as well as the importance of teamwork and collaboration. These skills are critical for effective leadership, and they can be applied in a wide range of contexts, from the classroom to the boardroom.

But developing leadership skills is not just about mastering a set of skills. It is also about cultivating character traits that are essential for effective leadership, such as honesty, integrity, empathy, and a strong sense of social responsibility. At SUSA, we believe that leadership development must be grounded in a strong moral foundation, and that learners must be given opportunities to practice ethical decision-making in real-life situations.

Our leadership programme provide learners with these opportunities, through a range of activities and exercises that challenge them to think critically about ethical issues and make sound, responsible decisions. Through these experiences, learners develop a strong sense of personal and social responsibility, as well as the confidence and skills they need to lead with integrity and compassion.

In conclusion, developing effective and ethical leaders is critical for the future of South Africa. By investing in leadership development from a young age, we can help to create a generation of leaders who are equipped to navigate the challenges of our complex and rapidly changing world.
