Theres a synergy that can be created through collaborative working. The together bit. That will produce exponentially more than if we try to do stuff on our own. The economy of together.
In this episode of Everyday Leadership, Sope Agbelusi talks to Kevin Davis, social entrepreneur and CEO of the Vine Trust Group about his leadership journey. Kevin sheds light on how his upbringing influenced his decisions to serve others and seek opportunities to empower young people who, otherwise, have been sidelined by communities.
Key topics discussed:
Kevin's "Economy of Together" concept demonstrates how cross-sector partnerships can drive significant social change.
Resilience in fundraising: Kevin's journey of raising 3 million for the Goldmine Centre and later 20 million for school expansion highlights the importance of persistence in securing funding for social enterprises.
Adapting to challenges: The evolution from the Second Chances school to the Studio School model shows the importance of flexibility and learning from setbacks.
Leveraging unexpected opportunities: The IKEA Project 390 demonstrates how a small favour can grow into a large-scale, impactful program.
The role of faith in social entrepreneurship: Kevin discusses how his spiritual beliefs have been a driving force in his work and decision-making.
Honouring heritage: Kevin's dedication of the Davis Centre to his grandparents illustrates the importance of recognising one's roots and the sacrifices of previous generations.
Balancing tenacity with pragmatism: Kevin reflects on the challenges of knowing when to persist with a project and when to let go.
Servant leadership in action: Kevin's approach to leadership emphasises leading by example and being willing to do any task, no matter how menial.
