The dilemma of an African leader is evident
in the running of our nations, organizations and communities. We've been through schools and colleges for courses and seminars.
We've been to varied training programs.
The question is how we integrate what we know, and what we become, as well as
what we do in developing Africa. We acquire wealth of knowledge, but hardly do we become the kind of leaders Africa needs;
and hardly do we use the knowledge to perform.
This book, in part, discusses the factors that contribute to the making
of effective and functional African leaders in the business, political, religious, and social context.
The book introduces
timeline approach to the making of African leaders. It provides the reader with a life-long leadership perspective. A life-long
leadership perspective, helps leaders not to hang on to fleeting power, privileges and positions in nations, organizations
and communities that affect progress.
A must read for those practicing, studying and/or teaching leadership in Africa!

•‘A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions’-Oliver Wendell Holmes,
jr.
Willy Addai's vision is Leadership Reform --Transformation of African Leaders.
Many African leaders today are dysfunctional and lack initiative. They operate under old
leadership assumptions inconsistent with Africa’s growth and global trends. Many leaders have no
defined vision or dream for improving themselves or their community. The residues of the past prevent many
of these leaders from being creative, innovative, discoverers of new ways to produce. Many are still unable
to see beyond what donors have to offer them. Many simply repeat what other generations believed and did.
This occurs in business, politics, the church, and at the grass-root community levels.
A vision for African Leadership Reforms
It's
no secret that most African people and nations have been overwhelmed by the foreign impositions of religious, political, economic
and social practices. The clash of African cultural values with foreign values is systemic to Africa’s
leadership problems. The challenge is for new African leaders who understand the roots of the problems
and are willing to search for new models for addressing African issues in an African context.
A vision for University for
African Leadership Studies
We have a vision for
a University that will focus on developing new generation of African leadership. Men and women of character
and integrity, who are capable and willing to envision new ways of doing things, not simply repeating what other generations
have done. Leaders who are willing to make a difference in the spiritual, economic, political, social,
and intellectual needs of the continent. We wish to see, as J. Mbiti puts it, “a resurrected Africa...”
to the Glory of God.
