Leading in unprecedented times

Crises inadvertently create opportunity. Challenges and crises have the potential to ignite our greatest ideas, creative thoughts and leadership decisions as it forces us outside the norm. It is said that the best things lie just beyond our comfort zones.

It is against a backdrop of a global crisis as well as the recent downgrade by Moody’s, confirming the country’s sub-investment status and the accompanying dire economic prospects facing the country, as well as the impact of COVID-19 and the lockdown, it is easy to become despondent and fearful.

We’d like to encourage you during this time of uncertainty to take care of yourself and your family. But not only that, consider the impact of your actions on those around you. Fighting this pandemic and finding our new normal in the midst of uncertainty is not only necessary, but also our national duty.

Therefore, SAICA wants to encourage you, our members, in these unsettling and unprecedented times. To help address the challenges faced by many, SAICA will be hosting a complimentary virtual leadership series that will focus on various elements affecting individuals, businesses and the profession as a whole.
