This document discusses the benefits of leadership and management for development in Africa. It defines leadership as translating vision into reality and managing people, while management is about managing things. Good leadership is needed to develop infrastructure, encourage entrepreneurship, and establish transparent governance and policy frameworks to attract investment. African leaders can learn from countries like Singapore and Malaysia that have prioritized building strong infrastructure to drive economic growth and improve lives.
