2015 Leadership Development Programme

DURBAN

INTRODUCTION TO DURBANDurban is the largest city in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. It is also the second most important manufacturing hub in South Africa after Johannesburg. Durban is famous for being the busiest port in South Africa and in Africa. It is also one of the major centers of tourism, because of its subtropical climate and extensive beaches.

The city has a large and diversified economy with strong manufacturing, tourism, transportation, finance and government sectors. Its coastal location and large port gives it a comparative advantage over many other centers in Southern Africa for export-related industry. To date, Durban remains the third richest city in South Africa.

Being the main economic driver in KwaZulu-Natal, Durban contributes over half of the province’s output, employment and income. In national terms, it is the second most important economic complex after Gauteng, accounting for 15% of national output, 14% of household income and 11% of national employment.

The planned expansion of the Port of Durban worth over USD 3 billion is important to ensure Durban’s ongoing contribution to the growing economy of South Africa. Of particular interest to the programme delegates, will be visiting local companies from a variety of industries. This will provide delegates with an opportunity to network with local entrepreneurs and understand the dynamics faced by businesses within the South African context.

Expect to be charmed when exploring the city and its infrastructure, experiencing its diverse culture and consumer behaviour and tasting its distinctive cuisine. With a population topping 3 million people, you can be assured that Durban is ethnically diverse, with a cultural richness of mixed beliefs and traditions.

PROGRAMME RATIONALEDelegates are invited to explore the dynamics of leadership - its foundations, variations and complexity. The programme will encourage delegates to engage and will challenge their perceptions of leadership. By reflecting on their experiences, delegates will begin to analyse and develop their leadership strengths and weaknesses, guiding them to make sound strategic and management decisions.

Corporates are no longer in favour of the traditional leadership programmes offered by business schools and require managers and executives to attend programmes that are stimulating and out of the ordinary. While being firmly rooted in sound contemporary research by leading thinkers in the world, MANCOSA’s Leadership Development Programme (LDP) offers delegates an opportunity to experience a profound personal and leadership transformation. It’s never too late to learn, change or find your passion.
