Fig. 1: Senior management responses to leadership in ICT and KS competency domains in
order of importance
This finding is consistent with what was observed during the interviews. A major concern of
senior managers during the interviews was the presence of good policies at national level
without proper implementation strategy. The failure in implementation was largely attributed to
the lack of visioning at national level and the lack of dialogue among stakeholders on strategies
to contextualise imported policies.
In terms of prioritisation of leadership competencies, KS vision at environmental level, KS policy
and strategy at organisational level and KS dialogue at environmental level received the highest
priorities from senior management respondents as the focus for capacity building (Fig. 2).
