Dr. Reuel Khoza: A Beacon of Exceptional Leadership and Black Excellence Revered Across Generations

Indipath Human Capital recently launched the Moments of Impact series to introduce you to quintessential leaders whose career journeys will positively impact your life.

The recent interview with Dr Reuel Khoza was no different.What was remarkably evident throughout our chat was that Dr Khoza fully embodies the learnings in his 2012 book titled Attuned Leadership: African Humanism as Compass. An attuned leader - according to Dr Khoza- is insightful, emphasises the importance of human relationships, empathises and identifies with their followership, wins their trust and produces results that are aligned with the needs of the followers.

Currently the fourth Chancellor of the University of KwaZulu- Natal, Chairman of Dzana Investments, Discovery Bank and Assupol Insurance, Dr Khoza is intentional in his choice of diction, insights and knowledge. Described as a true gentleman by those who have had the pleasure of being in his midst, an interaction with Dr Khoza is likely to leave you empowered- with one or two new words added to your range of vocabulary.

During the interview, Dr Khoza highlighted the key attributes of an impactful and ethical leader, noting that ascending a leadership position requires one to, first, have a sense of destination, or vision, if you may. To find out how you arrive at this vision, and for more powerful nuggets on effectively stepping up to leadership roles, head over to our YouTube channel (Indipath with Mmasetshaba Baloyi) for the full episode of Moments of Impact with Dr Reuel Khoza.

One interaction that tugged my heartstrings was when Dr Khoza acknowledged and thanked the entire camera crew- yet another reminder that the greatest asset of a leader is the size of their heart.

I certainly hope that the Moments of Impact series will enrich your career in a manner that will help you transition to the next phase with great ease. Lastly, I hope that it will guide you along in building, surviving and sustaining a high-performance culture.
