About this listen

'If you want to take the system down, provide a better alternative at least. At heart I’m an engineer. I want to encourage people to fix things, not to raise false hopes.'

Mteto Nyati knew years ago as a schoolboy in Mthatha, working behind the counter at his mother’s trading store, that he wanted to fix and build things. After completing his studies in Mechanical Engineering at Natal University, he turned down a Rhodes scholarship and headed for Johannesburg to take up a position at Afrox. He was the only black engineer and the sole advice he received from his superiors was ‘don’t mess up’. He didn’t. Today Nyati is one of South Africa’s top CEOs, having steered Microsoft South Africa and MTN South Africa out of troubled times.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to draw insights from people who are excellent, driven, people conscious, intentional about their lives and problem solvers. Mteto is exactly all that, and it was great listening to his leadership journey. Well done on the narration by Sizwe too!
