For many South African leaders, the "summer slump" is a familiar challenge. Productivity dips, engagement fades, and skeleton crews struggle to keep the lights on. However, this narrative of an unavoidable cost misses a critical opportunity hidden within the pre-holiday period. The real danger is not the slowdown itself.
