About

Bonang Mohale is a highly respected South African businessman, who is known as much for his patriotism and his active role in seeking to advance his country’s interests as for the leading role he has played in companies like Otis Elevators, Shell South Africa and South African Airways, among others. Developed over 30 years of business experience, his insights have motivated change in organizations and individuals alike.

Behold the Turtle

Behold the turtle; he only makes progress when his neck is stuck out.

This proverb, included in Bonang Mohale’s best-selling first book, Lift As You Rise, set the tone for his second book, which includes fresh insights and wisdom from one of South Africa’s best-loved leaders. As a change agent, defender of democracy, and social justice activist, Bonang continues to stick his own neck out, addressing issues of key societal importance. Following on from the success of his first book, his new book, Behold the Turtle – Thoughts on Ethically Principled Leadership, expands on issues of leadership, resilience, ethics and social justice – sounding a call for change.

Never one to avoid tough issues, Bonang tackles the role that businesses, institutions of higher learning, and other organizations need to play in creating South Africa’s future, as well as the risk and responsibility required of each of us as individuals.

The book incorporates insights from Bonang’s respected colleagues, such as Mteto Nyati, Adrian Gore, Andile Nomlala, Vukani Mngxati, and Nicola Kleyn, who add personal lessons and anecdotes, creating a pool of wisdom from which readers can drink deeply.

Citing Alexander the Great, Bonang says, ‘I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.’ This book focuses on ethical leadership and embracing our own agency.

Lift As You Rise

As CEO of Business Leadership South Africa, he frequently shares his insights through speeches and articles on the role of business in South Africa and the core tenets of leadership. Lift As You Rise is a compilation of some of his spoken and written words in which Mohale reveals the issues he is passionate about – among them transformation, people development, constructive collaboration and integrity – and how they came to define his career and his life. He looks into the ideas behind his words and offers fresh thoughts on the subjects they cover.

This well-balanced compilation is enhanced by contributions from others he has mentored or met on his journey which underscore who Mohale the man is – a fearless and energetic leader whose compassion, humanity and eternal optimism promote hope and encourage action.

There is value in this book for leaders in all walks of life, but it is Mohale’s hope that young people specifically, those rising through the ranks, will find his insights and experience inspiring – for they are the country’s future leaders.
