Almost no one is ready for the truth behind it. This is a News24 podcast series for people who build things – and for those who want to understand what leadership actually costs. Hosted by Bruce Whitfield, each episode is an unfiltered conversation with people who have sat in the chair: founders, executives, disruptors and industry leaders who have faced the pressure, responsibility and personal contradictions that come with running something bigger than themselves. No consultants. No spin. No highlight reel. Just honest conversations about the distance between what l","last_synced_at":"2026-07-28T04:17:38.167502+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/so-you-think-you-want-to-be-a-ceo-7904018"},"episode":{"title":"Mike Teke: Leading from the coal face","slug":"mike-teke-leading-from-the-coal-face","published_at":"2026-06-22T10:26:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/so-you-think-you-want-to-be-a-ceo-7904018/mike-teke-leading-from-the-coal-face","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/so-you-think-you-want-to-be-a-ceo-7904018","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/news249/episodes/Mike-Teke-Leading-from-the-coal-face-e3l47u4","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/113806ee8/podcast/play/121822596/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-22%2Fd89554c9-69cf-86c7-4d87-fceae5acb4cc.mp3","summary":"Mike Teke built Seriti Resources into one of South Africa’s most significant coal miners. Now he’s navigating the uncomfortable transition to renewables in a country that still depends on fossil fuels to keep the lights on. No consultants. No compromise. Just an expectation that his people show up with global best practice or don’t show up at all.
