Developing Leaders Through Community, Discipline, and Faith with Reward Sibanda

While some cultures prioritize individual contributions, the Zimbabwe ubuntu social philosophy defines a person’s humanity by their communal contribution. This philosophy brings a unique perspective to the conversation about leadership, followership, and finding a voice. Our cultures shape our leaders, and our leaders shape us.

In this episode, Tommy talks with Reward Sibanda, Senior Advisor of Church and Community Relations at World Vision, about leadership development. What started as a conversation at a conference about how Reward met his wife turned into a conversation about Reward’s upbringing, the ubuntu philosophy, and cultural elements of leadership.

Reward discusses with Tommy the importance of finding your context as a leader and capitalizing on your strengths to best serve the people around you.
