Editor's Thoughts.
Yesterday’s looting and violence in Durban and Soweto offers a sobering backdrop to a conversation about leadership. Especially meaningful when the theme at this year’s FPI Convention was Build to Lead.

What do we do with the influence we have? In your family. In your community. In your decision making for others.
As we enjoy a chat with Frans Cronje on his thoughts on the November municipal elections - this morning’s webinar at 9am (you can still register here) - perhaps the question isn’t who holds power.
It’s how each of us chooses to use ours.
