Rating: ()Level 1, Digital Courses
Introduction
"Now more than ever, directors and executives need to be fully informed of relevant statutory requirements and value adding corporate governance principles and recommendations in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities while steering their organisations through turbulent waters. This is not only part of being an effective and ethical leader but also of personal risk management."
- Adv. Annamarie van der Merwe
“Governance and leadership are the yin and the yang of successful organisations. If you have leadership without governance you risk tyranny, fraud and personal fiefdoms. If you have governance without leadership you risk atrophy, bureaucracy and indifference.”
- Mark Goyder (Director of Tomorrow’s Company)
