E055 Lerato Molebatsi - #Wisdom Personified- Conversations with Dudu Msomi

Jim Rohn says, “The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.” There are very few individuals that I have observed that carry these contradictions with Grace and Wisdom. Lerato Molebatsi is a person that epitomises that power doesn’t have to be loud and showy. Her character, her mind and heart are what keep you in her life in the long-term. Lerato is a former Managing Director of General Electric (#GE) South Africa. She has over 25 years of experience in diverse sectors such as Financial Services, Mining, Government, Non-profit and Professional Services. She has several non-executive #board roles including on the South African Reserve Bank (#SARB), as a Lead Independent Director and Chair of NEDCOM and a non- executive on Adrian Group #Kenya, an engineering company providing #technology and infrastructure solutions. This conversation is timely for April which is Freedom Month in #SouthAfrica because we commemorate our liberation on the 27 th of April. Lerato believes that you got to stand for something. To live by your convictions. She says, “Every single one of us. Can make a difference. And we should.” What are you recommitting to do for your yourself and your country this day to ensure that Freedom is experienced and lived by everyone. #boards #leadership #CEOs #womeninleadership #training #masterclass #wisdom #SouthAfrica #womenleaders #Africanwomenleaders #womeninbusiness #freedomday #nelsonmandela
