TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

Even if you are not in a management position, but a small business owner or an employee you will benefit from learning to speak an African language. The first benefit of learning to speak an African language is that you will be able to communicate with a larger segment of the population and with your co-workers and employees. Communication breaks down barriers and builds respect for each other. The second benefit is that you will open career doors and thus invest in your future. For the employer it is important that the non-native African language speakers will be able to work well with all groups in the company. By enrolling employees in a course such as Tswana, Zulu, Xhosa or Sotho open communication in the company can follow, creating a positive work environment.

Managers and supervisors quickly learn the difference between a boss and a leader. A boss demands submission to the authority in his title and he issues compliance with his instructions. Employees working for a boss live in almost constant fear of punishment or termination. Leaders, however, inspire employees’ respect, loyalty, and devotion because they help workers feel pride and ownership in their work. The best leaders understand exactly how they serve their followers.

Some of South Africa’s most effective corporate and professional leaders speak Tswana in the workplace because common language promotes a sense of common cause. When leaders take initiative to learn and speak Tswana in the workplace, they prove their respect for and understanding with their employees. In addition, effective leaders very quickly discover that, when they speak Tswana in the workplace, efficiency and productivity increase while accidents and non-attendance decrease.
