Throughout my journey of starting ABO Capital, I've learned invaluable lessons on leadership and saw an opportunity for innovation that could shape and grow Africa's economy. In conversations with Authority Magazine, I delved into five key aspects that have guided my leadership, especially during challenging times. https://lnkd.in/gpevxUax #InvestInAfrica #Leadership #Entrepreneurship

I don't repost often but after my almost two years at Icertis, I believe it is absolutely noteworthy to call out Samir's leadership. In my professional career, I have never seen such an amazing product go through such a revolutionary and disruptive transformation. Adopting Icertis WILL change the way your company does business--both internally and externally. I am proud to be an #icertian and cannot wait to see how our product continues to transform the way that commerce is being conducted around the world. How do you measure your business's success? How are you turning your contractual data into actionable insights to improve your business? I'd be happy to discuss this with you from a non-sales perspective as I think that any business without a robust CLM plan is missing out on an opportunity to bring your workflows into the 21st century.

The Corporate Entrepreneur - Jamie Price, CEO Osaic Whether you are a founder or a corporate executive success in an ever changing world is about having the flexibility to adapt. That's just as much about thinking "possibilities" as much as "certainties". That's the world in which the entrepreneur will flourish but the corporate executive ? Yes, if they develop the right mindset, they will flourish as well as an Entrepreneurial Leader. James Price, CEO Osaic, formerly Advisor Group, has some very insightful perspectives on this "possibility thinking" to maximise performance and long term sustainable profitability in organisations. https://ed.gr/edhpa. His very varied career started in large corporates such as Prudential Financial and UBS where the development of Entrepreneurial Leadership Accelerated Success for the bank and led to it being a Harvard Case study on transformation and integration. But the experience of the financial crisis in a large organisation led Jamie to try running a start up, 1-800-DOCTORS, as a new "possibility". That then led to becoming CEO of Advisor Group, US largest group of independent financial advisors. A very different type of organisation again. His development of a "possibility mindset" enabled his success in these very different roles and organisations. It's this mind set that leaders need to develop in their organisations to meet the challenges we now face, "status quo" thinking is effectively going backwards as the world moves forwards. Check out my other exceptional guests: https://ed.gr/edhpb. An amazing range of diverse leaders who give a really broad perspective of how to be successful: CEOs, founders, investors, business experts, military leaders, public sector and government leaders, from cyber security to mental health, financial services to hospitality, aviation to mass transit railways, energy to retail, a record breaking solo Atlantic rower to a Prime Minister who was a digital entrepreneur, a Nobel Prize winner to an Archbishop. #leadership #leadbyexample #leadingchange #servantleadership #perspectivesfromthetop #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurialleadership

Enlightened Enterprises outperform the S&P 500 - by a lot! In a study of 35 of these companies over a 15-year period from 1998-2013 their stock value grew by an average of 1681% — while the S&P grew by only 118% over that same period.

Outside Leadership Can Save the Family Business 👩🏻💼 For family businesses under pressure to grow, the primary threat to the family is business “leadership inbreeding”—where the older generation (typically who started/ran a smaller business) denies the next generation the mentorship they need from accomplished non-family executives. If your business is facing similar leadership challenges, a trusted parter can help.
