Why big business needs to embrace ubuntu
Tumi Dlamini
Tumi Dlamini centres her TEDxJohannesburg talk around the persistent issue of child starvation and the role that individuals and big businesses must play in addressing this problem. She advocates for a paradigm shift in corporate governance, emphasising ubuntu, shared values, and a sense of responsibility for societal well-being. Dlamini highlights her experiences during COVID-19, where businesses played a significant role in humanitarian efforts. The core idea is that effective leadership within businesses is crucial for social transformation, and combining the principles of Ubuntu with business strategies can be the key to addressing and resolving issues like food insecurity.
