This document discusses the concept of leadership and why leading by example is important, especially in Africa. It notes that while Africa has abundant natural resources, its people remain impoverished due to issues like colonialism and ineffective leadership. True leadership is defined as influencing others through inspiration rather than power or position. The document outlines false ideologies that prevent leading by example, like viewing leadership as superiority or defining oneself by position. It proposes ways to lead by example, such as taking responsibility, demonstrating integrity, and living by principles. Leading by example is important as it creates a vision for others to follow, enables economic and political development, shifts paradigms, and raises ethical standards.

leader you want others to follow.

2. INTRODUCTION
What comes to our minds
when we hear the word
leader? For most of us, it
is the picture of someone
who occupies a position,
especially in government.

3. In terms of natural resources, Africa is the world's
richest continent. It has 50% of the world's gold,
most of the world's diamonds and chromium, 90%
of the cobalt, 40% of the world's potential
hydroelectric power, 65% of the manganese,
millions of acres of untilled farmland, as well as
other natural resources. Despite its natural wealth,
Africa is home to the world's most impoverished and
abused people. African leaders are quick to blame
the legacy of colonialism, others accuse its neo-
colonial dimension, and some others pose culture,
climate and bio-geographic factors as the
explanation to the ?why? of the African problems.

influence; it is helping
others to achieve great

acquisition (of power,
