Yes, Africa can change for the best. Studies have shown that what limits people groups from developing is their paradigm or worldview. If you change their worldview through training, then you can change their world. For Africa to change, we must change the way we view ourselves, our world, and the others. Lee Kuan Yew, the late former Prime Minister in his book, From Third World to First, wrote: “…. we had to train our people and equip them to provide First World standards of service. I believed this was possible, that we could re-educate and re-orientate our people with help of schools, trade unions, community centres, and social organizations…. [and] get our people to change their Third World habits”.

In any given generation, there are three categories of leadership: 1) Leaders in rulership; 2) Support leaders in rulership; and 3) Emerging leaders in the making. For society to progress and be sustained, these three cadres of leadership must, at all times, be effective in executing their job descriptions. Besides, fortune is preparations meeting opportunity.

Both! Leaders are born and made. They are born with the seed of leadership in them which must be nurtured and groomed to maturity through coaching, teaching, training, and mentorship at appropriate times in the seasons of their lives. Therefore, technically, everybody is a leader.
