Leadership is action, not a position. -- Umez

Decades of learning and teaching government and politics, coupled with personal life experience, have helped me reach two fundamental conclusions about the relationship between leaders and followers, and what leadership is all about. Dear reader, here are those conclusions:

First, if leaders do not lead well, followers will not follow well. Conversely, if leaders lead well, followers will follow well. Second, leadership is action, not a position.

Your Excellency is a perceptive memorandum to Nigerian-African leaders on effective leadership and dynamic governance. Raised and answered in this book, among others, are these three fundamental questions: " "What is effective leadership?" " How do we produce effective leaders and effective leadership in Nigeria Africa? " "How do we achieve steady development in Nigeria"?

The answers to these vital questions make Your Excellency an important analysis that no consideration of effective leadership and sustainable development in Nigeria and Africa should ignore. In deed, this book offers an excellent recipe on how to produce great, visionary leaders who will satisfy the aspirations of the Nigerian African people.

Knowledge is power, especially when the knowledge gained is put to use. Thanks for your visit and your support.
