6 Conclusion Towards new leadership for a paradigm change Increased capacity building could strengthen the leadership to focus on facilitating trust and collaboration between the social partners. The collective leadership has a critical configurative role to lead the process of social transformation within this complex dynamic and interrelated global competitive environment The leadership should navigate this milieu with great caution to ensure that the national interest of the country is guaranteed when dealing with the complexities of economic, international labour standards, trade, technology and communication policies that could have a negative impact on the country. The leadership should focus on people- centred development that promotes the values of responsible citizenship and solidarity as diverse people work together to build a communally comprehensive society.

7 Conclusion Constructive social dialogue for improved livelihoods for all South Africans Social dialogue requires tolerance, patience and openness to give and receive criticism, the willingness to admit failures and the ability to re-examine presuppositions. The collective leadership should develop a framework (Social and Ethics Committee) of sustainable solutions to improve the livelihoods for people, to ensure a credible participatory voice and to deliver economic opportunities within the context of future growth. This framework should include structural reforms, enterprise competition, employment creation and entrepreneurship to support inclusive economic growth. Education, skills development, training and active labour market programmes could provide inclusive platforms for the empowerment of people.

8 Conclusion Re-structured social accord for sustainable solution multipliers The re-structured social accord should also focus on addressing the constraints and bottlenecks in the economy to improve the competitiveness of the country as an emerging global participant It is important to stimulate social equity and fair distribution of economic opportunities and rewards High-level leadership meetings should be held regularly between government and business, government and labour and civil society.
