In our latest BASA Awards’ podcast, Samm Marshall speaks to BASA Board Chairman Charmaine Soobramoney and Nikki Belford, Group Sponsorship and Industry Relationships Manager at Hollard Insurance. In their conversation, they speak both generally about their personal approach to leadership, as well as how this applies to the local, South African milieu. Ultimately, amplifying freedom of thought and skills application will invariably yield a complement of colleagues wholly committed to the business and its values and goals. The conversation also focused on our current challenges, both as a result of local drawbacks and the widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how this has urged leaders to adjust their tried-and-tested methods of leadership to confront and overcome new impediments to success.
