CLC KENYA/ACABA EFFORTS TOWARDS BUILDING LEADERSHIP IN AFRICA THROUGH LITERATURE
Leadership is a crucial aspect of development in Africa. It is necessary for individuals to possess strong leadership skills in order to drive progress and change within their communities. It is important to cultivate and nurture leadership skills in the continent’s youthful population to ensure a brighter future.
Literature can play a significant role in encouraging leadership in Africa
What are our four contributions?
This will amplify the leadership effect in the continent. Through the CLC Kenya/ACABA Authors Training & Empowerment (ATE), authors are empowered to develop the skills necessary to become effective leaders themselves.
- They can document their stories (successes and failures) in their leadership journeys. This will translate into more contextualized books on leadership.
- Books can be used as training tools to impart disciplines in different areas of life.
- Books can go beyond the leader’s circle of influence and also beyond their life span.
- Books can impact many lives in different times as one book can be read by several people over and over.
- Books legitimizes or increases credibility of a leader’s position and message.
- Books open doors for speaking engagements and other events opportunities that may otherwise not open without the book.
- Books can be future points of reference for leaders to improve on their message as they grow in their leadership journeys.
This offers a platform for the authors to teach valuable lessons on decision-making, communication, and problem-solving for the continent. These initiatives are aimed at providing insights, inspiration, and practical guidance on how to lead effectively.
This will offer a platform for others to be inspired to lead in their big or small ways.
