Henley Leadership Series

Join us for a powerful conversation with Mteto Nyati, one of South Africa’s most respected leaders, on the theme of Respect, Power, and Accountability. From his roots in a rural trading store to leading giants like IBM, Microsoft, MTN, and Altron, Mteto shares the hard-won lessons that shaped his values and approach. He reflects on the importance of self-awareness, the courage to tackle failing systems, and why purpose must be at the heart of leadership. In this session, Mteto unpacks how respect, when unchallenged, can hinder progress, and how leaders must create cultures where accountability and experimentation thrive. Drawing from decades of experience, he offers insights for leaders navigating the challenges of today and tomorrow.
