To help us with our strategic thinking during this time of lockdown, we have engaged with Grant Ashfield of “Leadership Works”, who has previously led the management team through the work of Patrick Lencioni and the advantages of a healthy and smart organization (“The Advantage”, “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team”, “The Ideal Team Player”). Amongst other things, Grant challenges us to think of a new “rallying cry”.
We regularly receive news of young Connor Buck (Grade 11) as he continues to rise through the ranks in the swimming world. Swimming South Africa has just released the SA National rankings as at the end of the truncated season and as can be seen, Connor has had a good year – evidenced by his excellent rankings. Well done, young man. Your dedication and commitment to your sport are wonderful to see.
