Leadership Beyond The Textbook

What does it really take to lead in today’s Africa — and what’s often missing from the leadership courses and textbooks?

Join us live for an unfiltered conversation with Lincoln Mali — CEO of Lesaka, former banking executive, Henley MBA alumnus, and author of Blazing a Trail: Lessons for African Leadership. Lincoln’s journey spans student activism, global boardrooms, and grassroots community work — giving him a uniquely grounded view on what makes a truly great leader.

In this session, you’ll:

• Learn practical leadership traits that go beyond theory — and can immediately elevate your impact

• Hear how Lincoln’s upbringing, failures, and wins shaped his leadership philosophy

• Explore how purpose-driven leadership, as modelled through the Lincoln Mali Foundation, can fuel both career growth and social change
