"Collaborative, transformational leadership is about setting ambitious goals that require a lot of effort and resources, but also listening to your team's ideas and allowing them to have a say in decisions. I am delighted to be a part of the Big Win Philanthropy team, supporting city leaders on the African continent in realizing this impact on their citizenry."
