Until we rethink our approach,it will take longer to get closer to the future we strongly wish for. Those who truly know how things work will always combine intelligence with vision and capacity. They explore fundamental questions. They solve problems with ease. They're pretty good at many things. They understand the fact that time expands in inexplicable and unexplainable ways. We set limitations and express disatisfiction about our stagnant economy, forgetting that if strategies are formed in a vacuum,we accomplish nothing. The world appears to be growing louder. A leader who cannot communicate clearly above the noise will become irrelevant, overlooked,and unsuccessful. We live in a rapidly changing world,and Africa cannot afford to be stagnant. Leadership is not an underwater adventure where no one can see you. It is visible to the naked eye. And whatever is visible has to be presentable.
