CONSCIOUS LEADERS SHAPE CONSCIOUS COMPANIES
MERRICK ABEL OF THE PRIMESERV GROUP
Exceptional leaders are not born remarkable or extraordinary, they just have an innate desire to do the right thing and to act responsibly. Merrick Abel, the CEO of Primeserv, is one such leader. Despite the pressures and challenges of the pandemic and the resultant economic uncertainty and devastating impact on so many, his silent and unruffled actions helped alleviate some of the misery and hunger so rampant during this time of crisis.
This is the mark of a conscious leader whose ability to respond to human suffering with kindness is one of the reasons why Primeserv, an integrated business support services group, is the perfect partner for Conscious Companies.
The Primeserv Group provides a broad range of business support services to many of the country’s international, multi-national and blue-chip businesses, parastatals and government organisations.
The company is deeply committed to valuing and recognising the role of its people and to delivering productivity and performance in an ethical and responsible manner that seeks to benefit all its stakeholders.
In turn, Merrick strongly believes in the unique potential of Primeserv’s people. His care, compassion and kindness is the thread that binds the Primeserv Group together. Its people tap into their own key competencies and strengths and engage in the growth and well-being of the organisation. He is certain that the traits that define human capital largely knowledge, skill, ability, experience, intelligence, strength of character and kindness to others, not only enhance the capabilities of organisations but are also key drivers of successful human capital management that in turn enhances economic value. He says of conscious leadership, “I am of the view that conscious leadership is in essence responsible leadership” and furthermore, “organisations can

benefit hugely by embracing conscious leadership and making it a core component of their cultural and operational DNA”. He continues “These organisations can make a meaningful difference, each in their own small way, thereby having a positive impact on their people, their profits and our planet.”
