passion is to assist clients to be effective in their role by
thinking in an integrated way about leadership, governance and
strategy and thus to develop effective strategies for the

prudence and intelligence in Swahili. We are a new generation of
individuals steeped in qualifications, experience and capabilities
that are driven by performing, achieving measurable results and
making a difference in everything we do. The core staff of Busara
Leadership Partners is limited by choice so that we can focus of
quality projects, assignments and delivery rather than pursuing
clients to cover overheads and payroll. We work with a close
network of suitably qualified and experienced resources that meet
particular values (motivations), reputation, track record, work
ethic and professionalism benchmark that are the best fit for the
project at hand.

leverage for competitive and comparative advantage for our clients

qualifications and management experience. Therefore we have
equivalent and divergent skills, experience and knowledge as
executive managers and board members bringing practical, not
bringing off the shelf solutions, but the appropriate capabilities,
skills and expertise that can respond and add value to the existing
situation and challenges. We excel in frontier thinking and
establishing next practices rather than being held hostage by best
practices of yesterday.
5. As a team, we are adept in generating innovative, ground-
breaking strategies, insights and solutions for 21st century
challenges as our expertise are skewed towards expert generalist
knowledge rather than rigid specialist knowledge. This affords us
the ability to strike the right balance between depth and breadth
of knowledge to be effective partners to facilitate that clients
see the possibilities, have the courage and the knowledge to do the
right things, the first time. We have strategic and operational
experience and proficiency to translate vision into reality by
