Why Now
Organisations today are expected to navigate uncertainty, complexity, rapid change, and increasingly diverse human systems. These realities demand more than technical leadership skills.
They call for leaders who can understand themselves, work with people, and respond thoughtfully to complexity.
G-TUMI is an executive leadership formation programme for senior leaders and practitioners who recognise that leading people and organisations requires more than technical competence or accumulated experience. It requires a deeper understanding of self, others, and the systems within which leadership takes place.
Drawing on African perspectives of Gestalt leadership and organisation development, G-TUMI explores the patterns, behaviours, and relational dynamics that influence how leaders think, decide, and act — creating space for participants to examine not only what they do as leaders, but who they are while doing it.
The work is experiential, reflective, and practice-based. Rather than adding another leadership model to apply, the programme develops greater awareness of the unconscious patterns that shape leadership practice and organisational life.
Who This Programme Is For
G-TUMI is designed for leaders responsible for shaping people, organisations, and systems.
- 01Senior leaders and executives

This programme is unlikely to suit those looking primarily for:
It is designed for leaders who are prepared to examine how they lead, how they influence systems, and what those systems may be asking of them.
The programme is particularly relevant to leaders working within African and African-descended organisational contexts, and to practitioners whose work involves supporting African organisations and communities.
What Makes G-TUMI Different
Leadership formation, not information
Leadership develops through awareness, reflection, experience, and practice.
African-centred by design
The programme begins with African organisational realities rather than adapting imported leadership models. The context is not an afterthought. It is the starting point.
Learning through experience
Participants learn through dialogue, coaching, case work, and shared inquiry, translating insight into meaningful leadership practice.
The Learning Journey
Over ten months, participants move from individual awareness to organisational and systemic leadership through six interconnected modules.
Faculty
The faculty bring decades of experience in leadership formation, organisation development, executive coaching, and systems thinking across corporate, public, academic, faith-based, and civil society settings.
