Edward Kieswetter: Leading From The Ashes

<p>Edward Kieswetter grew up in a township. He ended up running the Wilge power station, then overseeing six large coal-fired power stations for Eskom. Then FirstRand. Then a broken Alexander Forbes – which he turned around and listed on the JSE. Then retirement. Then a phone call. The SA Revenue Service had been hollowed out by state capture and needed someone who’d done it before. So he came back. This is a conversation about a particular kind of leader – one who doesn’t seek out the burning buildings, but keeps finding himself at their doors and walking in anyway.</p><p><br></p><p>This series is sponsored by Discovery Bank.</p><p>Follow all the episodes here.</p><p>Editions drop on Tuesdays at 07:00.</p>
