Tackle societal challenges from a leadership standpoint.
Vision
Uncertainty as the new normal heightens divisive perspectives on societal challenges. Traditional governance frameworks need to be updated to address this new reality more effectively and inclusively.
Mission
Tembo Citizen reimagines leadership frameworks and designs collaborative solutions to bridge divisive perspectives on societal challenges and drive change, in partnership with like-minded organisations.
Team
Tembo Citizen is a non-profit initiative powered by the Tusker Club managed by three of its members in a 2 year rotation.
Our Theory of Change
-
There is a growing consensus that leadership frameworks need to evolve to be more inclusive and effective in order to effectuate sustainable change.
-
Improving leadership frameworks require grasping both the practicality of management requirements and the perspective brought by theoretical frameworks on what drives organisations and decision-makers.
-
Every stakeholder holds a piece of the solution.
-
Our commitment to improve leadership frameworks drives us, but the change we want to see is shaped by practice and reflection on our leadership journey.
