He took a start-up company, founded in 1996, to a listing on the Jhb stock exchange in 1998. DRG, although delisted shortly after the dotcom era, the company has become an essential service provider in HR management reporting and compliance services in SA. DRG has also become a valuable contact for many foreign companies coming into SA, who need the support of a human resource management company to help them set up a solid human resource platform for their business. David’s vision and leadership extended further into an organisation called BusinessFit, which provides entrepreneur development services.BusinessFit started in 2012 and is regarded as a leading contributor to entrepreneurial development in South Africa. BusinessFit (later changed to BusinessFit SA) has mentored approx 250 entrepreneurs, many of whom have created successful companies.David says, “I dedicate my time to ensuring that I clearly articulate the purpose and desired outcomes the business wishes to achieve, sharing how the business works and the important measurementsof enterprise performance, especially customer and shareholder expectations; helping my team to better understand themselves, and their passions and goals. My desire is to help people understandtheir zone of influence in the business, how they contribute, so that they too can become thinkers and leaders in the business.”David is inspired by working with authentic business leaders, who create energy and commitment within their teams. “In my view, the true value of any organisation is its sustainability, and at the heartof sustainability is good people relationships. The best companies, the companies that thrive in all business climates, are those with engaged staff and work teams. These companies have people working together, governed by shared values, understanding and identifying with the business model, striving for common goals and outcomes Show less
