Transformational leadership challenges in Africa

7. 1. Culture that supports change
2. Engagement of many into the strategic planning process
3. Communications that link plans to the strategy
4. Need to innovate (or learn to work with what you have)
5. Execute and measure results and overall impact
None of this is possible without – leadership!

9. The intertwining of culture around these foundations can be both good and bad! It protects
organizations for swift and unplanned changes. It can support an organization through bad
times – but it also may impede necessary changes to carry that organization forward.
