Why do leaders struggle to step down, even when it’s time? In this episode, Taaka, Gillian and Robert explore the complexities of leadership exits, particularly in the African context. Cultural expectations, economic insecurity, and personal identity often make leaving a difficult choice—but staying too long can undermine both leaders and their organisations.
Our expert panel unpacks the challenges of letting go, the importance of succession planning, and the key signs that it’s time to move on. More importantly, they share actionable strategies for exiting with integrity and securing a lasting legacy.
True leadership isn’t just about gaining power—it’s about knowing when and how to pass the baton. Tune in for an insightful discussion on making timely, strategic exits and setting the stage for future success.
