Go4Gold ’24 kicks off
The Gondwana Collection’s formula to success is rooted in their commitment to investing in staff and embracing a culture of transparency as the foundation of their organisational philosophy.Within this framework, Gondwana cultivates an environment where every team member plays a meaningful role, contributing to their collective success.
In light of this, the Gondwana Go4Gold team of 2024 commenced their advanced leadership journey in January. Eager to evolve into mindful leaders, they are poised to make a positive impact not only on their teams but also on Gondwana as a whole.
Gondwana Collection chief executive Gys Joubert welcomed the new Go4Gold team, emphasising the act of investing in people. “This team is Gondwana's future,” he said, adding that the Go4Gold program is designed to challenge deep-seated fears and personal convictions. “By fully embracing and trusting the process, participants can expect life-altering positive changes. The journey promises to be simultaneously exciting and demanding, offering participants a crucial choice between comfort and courage. When you choose courage, growth will follow.”
These affirmations set the tone for overcoming hurdles and emerging as strong leaders from the training.
The program unfolds across 6 modules, each spanning 4 days over 12 months. It includes five on-the-job projects to integrate gained knowledge into the workplace, along with a year project fostering planning, strategic thinking, decision-making and budgeting.
The first session marked the completion of Module 1, laying the groundwork for leadership by delving into essential aspects such as self-awareness and understanding human perceptions. These fundamentals serve as the building blocks, empowering individuals to navigate the complexities of leading others.
