Samenvatting

There has never been a time in the history of Africa when quality political leadership is so crucial.

In 'Africa: Reframing Political Leadership', you will hear directly from Africa’s Heads of State about their perspectives on political leadership and the three things they believe are most important:
- an Awareness of their people and country’s needs, their own character and the gravitas of the office;
- a Breadth of knowledge, expertise and education
- Clarity of focus and objectives as well as when to step aside

Pulling from the author’s personal interviews with Heads of State and her thirty years working, living and travelling across Africa interacting with both the business and political worlds, the accounts herein aren’t theories of statecraft; these are real-life experiences and insights.

Over Deanne de Vries

Dr. Deanne De Vries is an advisor and keynote speaker to investors and companies doing business in Africa. She has spent much of the past 30 years working, living and travelling across Africa for startups, global non-profits, venture capital firms and international organizations. She is as comfortable climbing to Everest Base Camp to fundraise to build a maternity hospital as she is addressing the World Economic Forum, interviewing Heads of State across Africa for her latest book, or crossing on foot the South Sudan border with Uganda to understand the situation her truck drivers face daily. It all helps her understand the “why” of the on-the-ground reality so she can raise others up as well as introduce everyone to AfriCAN: the can-do Continent.
