Your hosts and facilitators
South African born Dr Kieth Deats MBA Dr.BA (Bus Econ) is a former conscript in counter insurgency, diamond prospector, professional farmer and agricultural economist, CEO, and rural retail trader committed to building prosperity at all levels of society. He has worked the shop floor, and with politicians, Board Chairman and as a director and CEO. He is a specialist in SUSTAINABLE EQUALITY-BASED LEADERSHIP©. Over the last 40 years he has questioned the effectiveness of bureaucratic versus entrepreneurial thinking, and encouraged autonomy in all his ventures, resulting in some 20 major million and multimillion turnarounds.
His regard for his fellow human being has resulted in him studying the phenomenon of equality-based engagement and participation in fulfilling preferred work lives. He has seriously questioned the effectiveness the institutionalised thinking of ‘learned professionals’ and leaders who purport to hold onto their intellectual, social and political elitist top down and overtly authoritarian attitudes that misuse and abuse power.
An active protagonist of building self-sustaining, financially independent enterprises with likeminded businessmen, he has been described as a potent instrument of change, and ‘not the shrinking violet’, yet a champion of a free, fair and just functioning society.
“I am a great believer in co-learning, co-creating and co-expecting with maximum employee democratic participation, and not living with the need to thump my chest as the most learned person in the room. Making sense of each other’s situations in a non-threatening relationship and participation through inquiry is without exception the most power tool in sustainable growth”
He is educated as a practitioner doctor in business administration business economics , one of 18 educated this way at UCC’s World Class DBA programme supervised by Professor Robert Kegan (ret.), Harvard’s Head of Adult Professional Development, and Professor Eleanor Doyle, Co-Chair of Harvard Business School’s Knowledge Generation Council, and Harvard Hall of Famer in Strategy and Competitiveness. During this time he challenged leadership, and what leadership ought to be, resulting in the design of a theoretical and ever evolving cohesive practice framework for use by business leaders, coaches, consultants and strategists for inquiry, through genuine dialogue, to support and challenge adult learners in their drive to change and grow, using Adult Mental Development and Complexity as the overarching tool for change.
