Izak Odendaal, Chief Investment Strategist at Old Mutual Wealth, speaks to Bruce Whitfield about some of the lessons that South Africa, our government and the world can learn from the Springboks following their historic win over the All Blacks for a record fourth time and lifting the Webb Ellis trophy back-to-back. Key learnings include having a long-term plan and the right people to implement it; a simple authentic message focused on a few things that people can relate to and unite behind; strong leadership as seen from Siya, Jacques and Rassie; and giving people responsibility, empowering them and holding them accountable to deliver.
