I interviewed banker Lincoln Mali about his book, Blazing A Trail: Lessons For African Leadership. 

Mali has spent over two decades in banking and financial services working across the continent, from Nigeria to Angola, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Kenya and elsewhere, as a banking executive facing a myriad of leadership challenges entrusted to him by his mentors and bosses.

This comes after a stint in government, a more natural home for a student political activist who had studied law at Rhodes University. 

In this interview we introduce you to some of the main themes and inisghts of the book, and Mali the author. In one sense, his approach to business leadership is intuitively sensible, and yet it isn't orthodoxy in a world of work in which patriachal norms and hypermasculinity frames our ideas of 'good leadership', still.
