Leadership and Society Course
It is evident that different leadership contexts pose a myriad of challenges in Africa. In these contexts, leadership issues such as culture, governance and human (personal) security affect society in general. In addition, issues of personal empowerment and effective communication shape leaders and impact on their effectiveness. These common challenges call for developing the ability to apply key leadership themes to particular leadership contexts and the ability to connect formal knowledge about leadership to lived experiences of people. By identifying the essential tools for practicing evidence-based leadership, the training aims to facilitate the development and demonstration of the above abilities among emerging African leaders across the continent. | |
