We learn from research in leadership that leaders who demonstrate great leadership can achieve seemingly impossible dreams in the unlikeliest of places. Africa needs ordinary people to achieve their extraordinary visions of success by following the steps to success by doing the little things that lead to success in Africa and avoiding the pitfalls that plague many of their predecessors.
The Success in Africa Podcast is a weekly podcast to support you to become successful in Africa
The concluding part of the three part interview of Dr Modupe with Inutu Zaloumis.
In this episode, the real estate mogul shares her lessons gleaned from her entrepreneurial journey. She developed a structure she fondly calls “what you eat is what you kill” which she claims has always been her Achilles heel in terms of funding.
She also shares how she managed competing priorities between her children and the business to this point of working with her children in the organization now.
Three Lessons learned from this episode:
1. Paying attention to your cash flow management
2. Pay attention to relationship and people management
3. Coaches play critical roles in decision making to help avoiding pitfalls as a leader
We have been socialized into a false image of success that makes us shy to talk about poor cash flow in the early stages of our entrepreneurial journeys.
A critical lesson we learn from this episode is what the mother of Ken Njoroge, a co-founder of Cellulant in East Africa taught him about money.
Ken’s mother taught him to never let the amount of money in his pocket determine how you he sees himself or limit his dreams.
The episode has more nuggets.
