The new year brings with it opportunities to
build on the achievements of the past year, with
excellent leadership and devoted teams now in place
in all our subsidiaries, our goals are much bigger
and bolder, bolstered by the confidence that we have
the right people leading the right people towards
their execution. Over and above the imperative for
sustainable financial growth, this year I would like
to see a focus on development across the Group –
development of small enterprises aligned to our
businesses and development of human capital. At
Thebe we are guided by the ethos ‘to lift as we
rise’, therefore the investment in the development
of others is not merely a tick box marking exercise
– it is the very essence of our being, the reason
for our existence.
It is also critical that we use this year to
identify and exploit the synergies between the
companies in the group more. Synergy is about being
a team, it’s about reaping the benefits of being
part of a larger group. For us to gain maximum
benefit from being a part of a greater whole, it is
key that the commitment to driving collaboration
cascades to all levels of the organization – each
and every employee should have a commitment to
finding ways and means of working with their sister
companies for their mutual benefit. As Henry Ford
once said “Coming together is a beginning.Keeping
together is progress.Working together is success.”
My wish for each person in our group is to take on a
new approach in your daily work and see how you can
make a difference; together we can expect great
things from Thebe Tourism Group this year.
