Leadership : the value of African leadership for a developing economy : leadership

Abstract

Those who mean to lead in the 21st century face daunting challenges. Africa, and the world, need to develop leaders who will be known less for what they say and more for what they deliver, less by their title and position and more by their expertise and competence, less by what they control and more by the mindsets they develop and shape, both by their personal integrity and for exceptional organisational abilities. And this kind of leadership is not a myth or an impossible ideal. It exists in Africa.
