Montshepetja Academy utilizes companionship and mentorship to help people balance their skills baskets with knowledge, consciousness and all-round competence while teaching them to take responsibility for their success in complex operating environments.
The Academy believes the most critical challenge confronting the current stock of managers and leaders in our society is to design and implement processes that can produce a new breed of managers and leaders. The managers and leaders so produced must possess not only the right mix of technical and behavioural competencies. They must also demonstrate themselves to have the commitment needed to work with people to transform our society for the benefit of all its people.

The following are examples of what effective companions and mentors can do for learners:

  1. Build self-confidence and growth by offering challenging ideas to work on
  2. Encourage professionalism by planning for high standards of performance
  3. Stand by their learners in critical situations by offering support and encouragement
  4. Provide their learners with the guidance they to need make the right career decisions
  5. Offer friendship by listening positively to their personal problems in times of need
  6. Inspire their learners by leading by example and  giving them appropriate coaching
  7. Share critical knowledge by explaining both people and organizational behaviour
  8. Trigger self-awareness by effectively confronting negative behaviours and attitudes
  9. Facilitate growth and development by providing practical learning opportunities
  10. Build their personalities by projecting their beliefs and viewpoints in positive ways
  11. Provide networking opportunities for their students to learn from progressive people
  12. Increase their chances of success by teaching them to share their good fortunes
  13. Show their learners the value of hardwork and discipline in support of natural talent
  14. Teach them to live with courage and pride in order to contribute and be fulfilled
  15. Provide them with platforms to shape their lives and be role models for other people
