‘Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee’

Serengeti Breweries Limited

The tension in the room is thick. The heavy debate that has just ensued has seemingly driven personal relationships to the brink of destruction. Now the parties, positioned on opposite sides of the board table, sit staring into each other’s eyes with looks that could kill. Each side blaming the other for the company’s woes, for the loss in market position. It is an impasse. A tipping point in their relationship beyond which they seemingly will not recover. The team leader who should naturally steer the debate away from the current standoff sits quietly in his corner, not wanting to take one side or the other. Then suddenly a voice cracks the ice-cold atmosphere. “We can fix this!” the voice booms. Everyone turns to see the usually quiet assistant sales lead on his feet. He is accepting to take responsibility for turning the company’s fortunes! He is taking responsibility for making happen what the rest of the team has failed to do! He is answering the call for a leader!
