Bio
Papikie S.
Thabang has the exceptional foresight of a masterful business strategist, coupled with the empathic ability to fight for people and what is right. This allows him to achieve results by getting the best of his people and not exploitation. In addition to this, he does not compromise on quality deliverables nor does he cut corners when looking for top talent. He is a highly skilled negotiator. I have witnessed this attribute both in his non-profit and corporate endeavours. No leader is perfect, and he is the first to admit when he missteps to quickly find a progressive solution that sets us back on the right path. He is not a perpetuator of diplomacy, instead, I have witnessed him prioritise honesty at the cost of popularity. It is through honest and thoughtful feedback that one becomes a proponent of change, rather than letting a terrible situation fester. Lastly, Thabang is also an astounding listener but also very measured in his response. This makes him an ideal mentor. He has mentored several individuals at Nahana who have gone on to become impressive specialists and leaders in their own right. In summary, nothing short of a remarkable leader whose qualities are suitable for any business looking for an astute strategist who in turn understands the importance and value of people.
