Lift As You Rise: Speeches and Thoughts on Leadership

Bonang Mohale is a respected South African businessman,
known as much for his patriotism and active role in seeking to
move South Africa forward as for his leading roles in companies
like Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA), Shell South Africa,
Drake & Scull, SAA and Sanlam among others.
As CEO of BLSA, Mohale is often behind a podium or desk,
sharing his thoughts through speeches and columns on the role
of business in South Africa and the core tenets of leadership.
Developed over 30 years of business experience, his insights
have motivated change in organisations and individuals alike.
This book, Lift As You Rise, compiles some of Mohale’s best
letters, speeches and articles and then digs into the ideas behind
them, offering fresh thoughts from Mohale himself.
Mohale’s passions – integrity, transformation, active citizenry
and constructive collaboration, among others – come under the
spotlight as he shares not only his views on these critical topics,
but also how these themes came to define his career and his life.
Tempering these weighty topics are delightful proverbs learned
from his grandmother, as well as memories from those Mohale
has mentored or met along his journey.
Experience Mohale’s eternal optimism, read his uncensored
critiques and take away practical leadership advice to implement
in your own life.
