The Art of Leadership
Simply, this is a must read book for any African who wants to start an organisation or is currently the leader of one.
The search for leadership is, in actuality, the search for definition, direction and destiny. In the book, Professor T'Shaka has laid out some ground rules and some definitions that need to be understood before a leader is chosen or considered. A leader, in the final analysis, is a people's messenger. The ultimate leadership is the collective leadership of the people. This volume contributes to the new literature of liberation and should be read with serious consideration.
