By: Cobus Visser Published on: 12/05/2025In this article, I break down 10 high-impact decision-making habits that every resilient leader needs in 2025. Most leaders don’t fail because of lack of skill—they fail because they’re making too many decisions… with too little clarity.
Scarcity to Scale
By: Cobus Visser Published on: 30/04/2025Scarcity doesn’t always show up as panic—it often wears the mask of discipline, caution, and control. But left unchecked, it becomes the silent ceiling on your leadership capacity. In this post, I dive deep into the inner shift required to move from survival-mode leadership to scalable, sustainable growth. Drawing from personal experience and supported by recent research from HBR, Deloitte, and Fast Company, I unpack how fear-based leadership limits innovation, stifles teams, and ultimately slows momentum. True scaling doesn’t begin with strategy—it begins with mindset. This is an invitation to let go of over-functioning, to trust your systems, and to lead from belief rather than burnout. If you’re building something meant to last, this read is for you.
Freedom Day
By: Cobus Visser Published on: 28/04/2025Freedom isn’t just a national value — it’s a leadership principle. 🇿🇦 In honour of South Africa’s Freedom Day, I’m reflecting on what true leadership looks like in today's world. It’s not about control — it’s about trust, purpose, and empowering others to lead from where they are. This post explores how the most impactful leaders create spaces where creativity, responsibility, and innovation thrive. When we lead with freedom, we don’t just get better results — we build legacies. ✨ If you’re leading a team or building a business, this is a must-read. Let’s shift from managing obedience to inspiring dedication.
The Power of Surrendering

In this piece, I explore the transformative power of letting go—of control, of ego, of outdated roles—and how that shift can unlock not only personal clarity but organizational growth. From delegation to trust-building, from identity shifts to strategic detachment, this is a deeper dive into the kind of leadership that scales sustainably. True leadership isn't about holding everything—it’s about creating systems and people strong enough to stand without you. And that starts with one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership: the power of surrender.
