I am struck by Arden's departing words that she "no longer had enough in the tank to do the job. It's time." I wish leaders would learn that lesson: know when you have given all you can and it's time to leave! Know when it time for others to lead. theguardian.com/world/2023/j…

So glad you are enjoying the book @RobinahR
Just finished Chapter 2 of @TaakaAwori *Leadership in Africa Redefined* in which states that Leadership should be defined by purpose: What is my purpose? Why do I want to lead? What does leadership mean to me? What impact do I want to make with my leadership? Great reading.

Reminder of the saying: "You can can't lead another until you lead yourself." As a leader, if you can't manage your ego and emotions, this is what happens! Sack Ashanti Region NSS Director in 72hrs or we strike – Nurses demand via @citi973 citinewsroom.com/2022/11/sac…

It breaks my heart every time I see MPs behaving this way. They are supposed to be role models. Learning how disagree w/o resorting to fighting is Kindergarten 101! kindwehttps://www.africanews.com/2022/11/24/sierra-leone-mps-scuffle-over-electoral-reform/

5 social structures imbed colonial norms: First is the education system e.g A is for apple S is for snow: using alien systems for knowledge and learning. Or learning about the French revolution and not about the genocide in Namibia. Sylvia Tamale

Need story driven theoretical frameworks that are indigenous. We need to recenter indigenous ways of knowing

The world is living one big lie that on planet earth, there is only one way of being human. This way is Western and mandates universal conformity to thus western way of being. Sylvia Tamale

You all are so right. Leaders need to show emotional intelligence. This is not the time to show how much you have achieved. This is the time to show empathy #CitiCBS @benkoku

As I drive around on Sunday morning in Accra I am struck how 80% of people are either going to or coming from Church. How I wish this piety would continue into the week in terms of ethics and integrity..
