For many South African business leaders (of all races and ethnicities), the crucible of apartheid and the ensuing transformation of their country have prepared them to engage some of the most intractable ethical challenges of our times. They define these challenges as being at the very heart of business leadership, and they aspire to build the capacity of people who were previously marginalized. Yet the leaders know that in order for this deep societal transformation to occur, the approach to and role of business must be changed. <br class="clear" /></div> </div> http://www.nextbillion.net/multimedia/2005/12/07/a-gentler-capitalism-black-business-leadership-in-new-south-africa#comment Strategy Wed, 07 Dec 2005 16:37:56 -0500 John Paul 1914 at http://www.nextbillion.net
