The first week of the second last month of the year taught me that:
We live in a time where we're willing to lose our souls to gain the world
In the process of decolonisation, many of us have simply been re-colonised
When we choose to divide based on ethnicity, religion or gender we miss the real divide: the haves and the have-nots; the controlled and the controllers
When working on the system, we really need to work on ourselves because we are the system
The quality of your relationships will determine the quality of your work
We run ourselves into the ground when we treat mistakes as failures instead of opportunities to learn
Making mistakes is a necessity for our growth and leadership
"In a fight between the money and the many, the many can win"
Feedback is a necessary step on the path to excellence and mastery; we avoid it to our own peril
Talking badly about someone behind their backs - even if it's the truth - is still backbiting
We'll start to see transformation when politicians realise that politics is about the people, not the politicians
When someone with a three-year record of poor leadership is asked to lead again, the problem is not that person
If you want to know what your real priorities are, simply observe what you base your decisions on
