Trailblazers

Trailblazers is the first title to investigate the lives of South Africa's most influential black business people, celebrating them and inspiring young leaders of tomorrow. The authors, who represent Empowerdex (Economic Empowerment Rating Agency), have interviewed many of the top black leaders, executives and managers, for rare insight into their lives and achievements. Where did they get their first jobs? What personal philosophies motivate them? Trailblazers is focused on the recent history of black business in South Africa and the secrets of the pioneers who made it, while also giving indications for further changes stemming from research, BEE and politics. The personal vision of those currently in power will shape the future of business, and inspire more young business people, whose talents are so badly needed to increase South Africa's prosperity.
