This is according to the recent Student Confidence Index (SCI), which focused on the major concerns of university students about life after graduation and what that would mean for their career prospects.

When I first started the Future Leader Forum™ back in April 2017, it was inspired by the leadership legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. Hosted by South Africa, the 2010 World Cup was a shining example of what can be achieved when all members of a team, in this case the entire country, pull together behind a single vision and a common goal. It was none other than Nelson Mandela who had initiated the 2010 vision of “hosting the most successful World Cup ever” (as coined by President Thabo… Show more When I first started the Future Leader Forum™ back in April 2017, it was inspired by the leadership legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. Hosted by South Africa, the 2010 World Cup was a shining example of what can be achieved when all members of a team, in this case the entire country, pull together behind a single vision and a common goal. It was none other than Nelson Mandela who had initiated the 2010 vision of “hosting the most successful World Cup ever” (as coined by President Thabo Mbeki) when he travelled, against his doctors’ advice, all the way to Zurich to address the FIFA World Cup Committee and lifted the World Cup trophy as South Africa was announced the host of the 2010 edition – and wild jubilations rang across the country on that auspicious 15 May 2004.For the following six years, it was almost miraculous to watch how all the stakeholders of the 2010 Team, from government to business, civic society and even the churches, came to deliver what CNN called “the most memorable World Cup of all time”. And visitors did rate 2010 the best ever, as 92% declared that they would recommend destination South Africa back to their friends and colleagues (versus 88% at the previous World Cup hosted by Germany). Following the 2010 World Cup, South Africa’s leisure tourism grew 30% year-on-year (and business tourism more than 39%), and 2010 rebranded the Country as a safe Destination to visit and do business in. Such is the power of co-creation and collaboration across the boundaries of industries, geographies and nationalities and that is why the purpose of the Future Leader Forum is to provide insights into the Challenges & Opportunities of Leading in the Era of Collaborative Co-Creation, and specifically create the following platforms for Global Thought Leaders: • The Future of Leadership Interview Series (50 Thought Leaders each year) • The Future of Leadership Book Series (2023-2030, annual edition)• The Future of Leadership Summit (hosted annually) Show less
