24. Leadership lessons from Botswana Part 1

Botswana. Rebecca Binns said that she loved the expedition but that it not speak to her fully. It didn’t feel ‘like home’ So she took me home. To meet 7 powerful women leaders in Botswana, Priyanka Handa Ram, Tebogo Matenge, Rosalind Kwinje, Kelly Ramputswa, Pelonomi Venson, Joyce Isa Molwane, Sharifa Noor. And the result is this week and next weeks episodes. I asked each one “ if we are going to find an approach to leadership that resonates with women in Botswana... what must it address and not skip over?”They told me about #botu and about #botswana where women are strong powerful and brave leaders not unlike the #corybustard the national bird of Botswana. It’s not really surprising in a country where 83% of families are lead by single mothers and they don’t just lead at home.
