I love this analogy that Ronald Kirk makes about boards and Black churches. It is a WONDERFUL lesson on leadership. Great leaders… ✅ Ask tough questions ✅ Encourage independent thinking ✅ Hire great people because they understand it’s a weakness to be the strongest person in the room ✅ Have high moral and ethical standards ✅ Put the right processes, procedures and systems in place

Despite facing significant challenges during her presidency, Vilakazi’s determination and courage have shone through. Her ability to stand firm against adversity is something to be admired and celebrated, especially as women leaders continue to break barriers and lead with grace under pressure.
