Build Leadership That Drives Organisational Results.
ILM-accredited leadership pathways tailored for institutional impact.
Why This Matters
Leadership gaps are not just HR issues - they slow execution, weaken alignment and erode organisational resilience.
Traditional leadership training often fails because it:
-
is generic, not context-specific
-
lacks measurable impact
-
doesn’t prepare leaders for complexity and ambiguity
Institutions need leaders who can make decisions under pressure, navigate cultural and systemic challenges, and deliver strategic outcomes.

-

-
Built on the Stories of African Leadership (SoAL) research, not off-the-shelf frameworks.

The Stories of African Leadership Project
Our mission at Gen A is to develop globally competitive, impactful leaders while contributing African leadership intelligence to global research.
The Stories of African Leadership research project is revolutionising how we understand effective leadership.Through rigorous analysis of leadership narratives from successful African business leaders across Europe and Africa, we're identifying the specific leadership values and mindsets that drive exceptional results in multicultural business environments.
Want to discover how African leadership insights can build unshakeable organisational resilience? Invite our CEO, Gamu Matarira, to speak at your next executive event. Her keynote "Reimagining Leadership: How to Build Resilience Across the Organisation" reveals proven African leadership strategies that transform how leaders navigate uncertainty and drive long-term sustainable growth. This isn't just another diversity talk. It's a data-driven exploration of leadership approaches that work, backed by real research and proven results.
