We learn from research in leadership that leaders who demonstrate great leadership can achieve seemingly impossible dreams in the unlikeliest of places. Africa needs ordinary people to achieve their extraordinary visions of success by following the steps to success by doing the little things that lead to success in Africa and avoiding the pitfalls that plague many of their predecessors.

We continue our conversation on Leadership in the
Public Sector this month of March.
The key theme of this episode is 'KNOW YOUR WHY' before you enter into public service.
If it is to earn a living, that will not be enough. You will either be broke or you have to explain your source of wealth all the time, to the people you stole it from and that may make you miserable.
Claire Akamanzi, former CEO of the Rwandan Development Board is profiled for knowing her why and how that influenced her work in Rwanda after being rejected in Uganda.
We have been socialized into a false image of success that makes us shy to talk about poor cash flow in the early stages of our entrepreneurial journeys.
A critical lesson we learn from this episode is what the mother of Ken Njoroge, a co-founder of Cellulant in East Africa taught him about money.
Ken’s mother taught him to never let the amount of money in his pocket determine how you he sees himself or limit his dreams.
The episode has more nuggets.
