Thursday. August 7th. 6 pm - 8:00 pm. Workshop17 Watershed, Cape Town. Live On Stage.

When asking entrepreneurs, “What does South Africa need most?” the most common answer we get is, “Good leadership!” It’s easy to say, but hard to define. What precisely does ‘good leadership’ look like? What exactly is required for us to lead businesses, teams and communities? We’ve invited two legendary leaders to join Heavy Chef on stage in August to provide clear answers on these big questions. Ian Calvert of Further and Selebogo Molefe of BizPlug will be joining us at Workshop17 Watershed for an essential discussion on Good Leadership. We’re delving into small business growth, innovation, leading through crisis and what we expect from our political leaders. Join us for a scintillating conversation, great wine and (grumpy) snacks, and some energising networking.
