Port Elizabeth: General Manager

Job Description: A pile of stones will lie where they are placed forever. When a human being decides to place those stones into a square shape, the stones move into this square shape. The stone square will be as tidy, organised and clearly formed as the idea of the square living in the human being’s thinking. The stones will now remain in the square form and will only move again when the human being decides to improve the square or move some of the stones to tidy up the shape or put them back on the pile. Link: A business is like the stones in that the business unit will look like the thinking that is happening in the General Manager. When the General Manager is not thinking about the business, then things will stay as they are. The infrastructure, processes, culture and ownership within the business will become to the extent that the General Manager has the capacity to think the detail of these realities in the business.
