𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆. #MTNGroup just appointed Jerry Soko as the new CEO for #Eswatini. This isn't an isolated move but part of a deliberate pattern where giants value the institutional memory of insiders over the flash of an external hire. In #SouthernAfrica, we often fetishize the idea of bringing in a 'rockstar' executive from abroad. But Soko stabilized the business in just seven months by understanding the ground-level complexities of the #Telecommunications sector that an outsider would spend years trying to learn. Stop chasing the shiny new resume and start grooming the people who already know how your machine actually functions. Do you truly trust your succession pipeline, or are you just waiting for your next crisis to force a search for a stranger? 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dCJS27gG #Leadership #MTN #CorporateStrategy #Namibia
