Josh Hayman has been working with the Legitimate Leadership Model for 15 years, and in that time, he has consulted to a wide range of industries, both locally and internationally, on establishing and sustaining organisational cultures characterised by ownership, trust and accountability, with the Legitimate Leadership Model as the foundation. His current responsibility in the organisation is for the South African business.

The first half of his career was spent first as a Project Manager and then as a Programme Manager. He led large, complex business transformation programmes and implemented project management best practices in the public and private sectors. During this time, he gained first-hand experience of how intent – and with it trust, accountability and legitimacy – impact business success. When introduced to the Legitimate Leadership model in 2012, Josh found the Model immediately resonated with what he had experienced as sustainable. He joined Legitimate Leadership and set about helping leaders to apply the Model sustainably in their organisations.

Josh grew up with one foot in Gauteng and the other in the Eastern Cape, which is where he now resides. He lives in a small coastal village on the east coast, outside East London, and enjoys an active outdoor life.
