Moussa Dao’s Post

Effective leadership isn't merely about guiding things today, it's crafting the narrative of tomorrow. Africa’s mining and metals industry is on the cusp of a new era, an era that needs visionary leaders, to forge a prosperous chapter in Africa's resources-rich saga. For in the end, it isn't just about unearthing treasures buried in the land, it's about cultivating the human wealth above it too. And for this, Africa needs leaders - leaders who can mine a bright future from its golden crust, with diamonds of opportunities for its people.

The LEAD Programme is designed to equip the next generation of African leaders in the extractives sector with the skills required. It brings together a cohort of early career professionals who are working in or engaging with the extractives sector; equipping them with the leadership skills that will allow them to catalyse sustainable development across Africa. The LEAD Alumni Programme focuses on building on leadership competencies and practical implementation of skills obtained from LEAD course by providing a platform and framework for networking and collaboration and continuing the personal and leadership journey beyond the LEAD course. The LEAD Alumni Network incorporates the alumni from the LEAD predecessor programme, Emerging Leaders in African Mining (ELAM) and boasts some 153 leaders, and represents 28 African countries. Alumni are impactful leaders in civil society, government and industry. In 2024, the ‘30 Future Leaders’ initiative was launched in conjunction with African Mining Indaba, in which 15 Alumni and the 2024 LEAD cohort were selected to attend Mining Indaba and participate in key discussions ranging from critical minerals, artisanal and small scale mining and youth leadership. The Future Leaders initiative showcases a small crosssection of the dynamic, impactful LEAD Alumni who are making waves in the industry.

On my way on an internal flight from Al Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Medina to facilitate my next workshop on Handling Difficult Situations, Crisis Management and Stress Management for a group of high potential, young engineers of a fast growing international minerals mining company. I very much like these subjects as they challenge us to use and improve our skills of Self Awareness, Resilience and Emotional Intelligence. These are essential Leadership Competencies in today’s turbulent times. #Leadership #Resilience #EmotionalIntelligence

I was selected for a leadership-development program by a mining company I worked with in the past. We were divided into seven groups. My group had two managers and I, a Superintendent then. Each group was given a project and a mentor. Our mentor was the Chief Operating Officer of the company. The year-long program was over, and each group was to present their work to the executive committee. When our presentation was ready one of our team members proposed how we should run it: One of the managers starts, I had two or so slides in the middle, then the other manager finishes it off. We all agreed. A day before the big day, we met as a team to do a dry run of our presentation. First person went, then my turn. Less than two minutes into mine, a member of the team said: “Steve, it’s either we underrated you or we did not know you well”. Our planned order changed there and then. I was given more slides, and I was asked to do the conclusion part to finish off the presentation. The big day came. Every important person was in the room; GM, COO, Group Execs, CEO and a Board member. We delivered. We didn’t only receive an applause, and we were also adjudged the best group. The following year, a photo of me receiving an award from the CEO featured in the company’s annual report. When you feel underrated and underutilized, being bitter and sour is not the way to change things. Use every opportunity to do excellent work and one day, as it happened to David in the days of old; Your work will give you unimaginable visibility and the King will ask “Whose son are you?” Have a great week.
