Download or read book Effective Leadership in Nigeria written by Dr. Onyema G. Nkwocha and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective Leadership In Nigeria: Practical Ways To Build an Effective, Inspiring, Transformational and Visionary Leadership and Governance in Nigeria is mostly based on the current apathetic and virtual lack of effective and visionary leadership situation in contemporary Nigeria and distills the golden gems: - principles, processes, procedures and practical applications inherent in effective, inspiring, visionary and enthusiastic leadership. It attempts at instituting, building and encouraging good, effective, and visionary leadership in the nation and that is currently, virtually lacking. From the outset, the author makes it clear that this writing is not designed to model or fit any known leadership paradigm, theory or management style. Rather, based on relevant research on leadership as it impacts the Nigerian situation, the book attempts to explore what it takes for there to be an effective and good leadership to successfully lead and change Nigeria for the better. The book is written and organized in a way that reflects and captures the contemporary experiences, frustrations, psychological emotions, aspirations and hopes of every Nigerian and perhaps of promising politicians and future leaders who are honestly touched by the virtual vacuum of real and effective leadership in the country, their concerns, questions, dreams, and the expectations that have virtually gone unmet in the past more than half a century. Properly elucidating what leadership means, and differentiating it from rulership this book couldn't have come at a better time to assist Nigeria's leadership-struggles! A masterpiece, Dr. Nkwocha has taken the current apathetic leadership lull and almost leadership void in the nation and set the leadership principles and processes on the cutting edge. The book is a definitive guide to anyone aspiring to the leadership of Nigeria and is therefore in search of meaningful leadership, its principles, processes and pragmatic applications. The book is a must read!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how modern Nigerian political institutions have grappled with the resurgence of traditional institutions of political leadership in the post-colonial era. The contributors examine the role and nature of traditional governance institutions in West Africa from pre-colonial times to the post-colonial era. Part I considers a range of traditional institutions including monarchies, Islamic institutions and the role of culture and arts such as masking and music in traditional leadership. Part II focuses on modern governance institutions, elites, political action, arts, and democracy in post-colonial Nigeria. Part III examines democratic institutions and processes in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, covering issues such as electoral reforms, women’s political participation, and democratic citizenship. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of African politics, governance, and democratization.

Download or read book Leadership and Governance written by Victor E. Dike and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership and Governance is a collection of essays on political economy, leadership and governance, and corruption and community development, as well as on information technology and education. This book, thus, presents a broad overview of the major problems facing the Nigerian economy. Towards that, the contributors highlight the relationship between good leadership and governance and the economic health of Nigeria as they explore the forces for a meaningful change in the polity. This book asserts that political leaders in Nigeria should be held to a higher standard of leadership and governance in order for the economy to grow and develop for 'common good'. Nigeria's educational system is the foundation for its national development. But this is impossible without investing in human capital (education and health), fixing the existing dilapidated infrastructure and institutions and acquiring technological capability that drive the economy. The power of productivity of the Nigerian economy cannot rise above the quality of its leadership, governance and graduates. Today Nigeria's young democracy is in a state of uncertainty because of ineffective leadership and governance as well as lack of accountability. Since all the essential factors are missing in Nigeria's scheme of affairs, its economy as well as the democracy transition will continue to choke and stagnate. There are myriad ways to reform the Nigerian educational system, improve its quality of graduates and the state of the economy. But closing the nation's higher institutions for five months on the pretext that there is no money to meet teachers demands is not a way to improve the state of education and its weak economy. The trouble with Nigeria's democracy is that the people do not get the type of government they want. For instance, praying to God only, as President Goodluck Jonathan often does, to rescue the nation from its challenges is not by any means a strategy to solve Nigeria's socioeconomic and political problems. His administration needs to adopt a long-term strategy for creating a learning culture to improve the state of education and the security situation so as to tackle its development challenges. This includes motivating the teachers, treating them as professional they really are, and providing them with the tools to effectively educate the youths. Like the Nigerian economy without functional infrastructure and institutions, the leaders cannot strip the teachers of the tools they need to perform their duties and expect them to perform miracles. New challenges require new paradigms. The political leaders should adopt new, effective and innovative methods to meet the needs of the economy, the rapidly growing population and the ethno-religious and politically dynamic society. This book posits that without a paradigm shift in values, beliefs and thinking on ways to reform the Nigerian educational system, as well as to invest in the commanding heights of the economy, its educational system and the economy would remain prostrate with its attendant catalogue of human misery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book , NIGERIA: LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT - ESSAYS IN HONOUR OF CHIBUIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI , is an attempt to clarify the issue about leadership and how , in our circumstances , it has impeded ( or for those who believe differently , facilitated ) the achievement of the Nigeria project. The philosophy behind this book is that if those who are doing well get encouragement they will see the need to remain focussed and stay the course ; they may then inspire others who may aim to achieve even more. It is useful to always be critical in appreciating those who lead because it might help them to improve . But it is most unhelpful to always condemn everything , and thus attracting into the ring those who are entirely shameless. There is something to be gained by encouraging those who show signs of understanding that Nigeria cannot afford to continue muddling through unless it wants to literally fall off the map in a globalized world . Leadership is an honour and an opportunity for service to humanity and not just a platform for self - promotion. PETER EKEKWE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GARDENCITY LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE PORT-HARCOURT NIGERIA

Book excerpt: The main theme of this book is to provide a critical analysis of the "Nigerian dependent management and leadership development in the post world war II colonial Nigeria". (1945-to-1960) and beyond, using foreign fi rms-global/multinational and transnational corporations; U.A.C., SHELL, NNPC and OPEC. All these foreign fi rms have their parent companies resided in their foreign countries of origin (advanced metropolis) and have their subsidiaries or peripheries all over the global communities of under¬developed and developing economies. Paradoxically, the book was generated by on-going political, economic concern and controversy with the fate of the struggle and quest for economic liberation in the third world-under-developed and developing countries of Africa, with direct specifi c studies of the "Nigeria dependent management and leadership development", predates, from 'pre and post' colonial era of the British colonial rule in Nigeria.

Download or read book The Nigerian Dream Versus The American Dream written by Steve More and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to dream or possess positive aspirations is a gift. What is your dream and what more can you become? The Nigerian Dream is the yearning of Nigerians to possess the necessities of life, whatever that means. The Nigerian Dream has evolved over the years. At some point in time, growing up, the Nigerian dream was basically the desire to attain the middle-class level of life. The middle-class level life was characterized by a good college degree, a nice apartment, and a personal or official work car with which I could take my family to the worship place on Sundays, or Fridays, and to the grocery store, cinema, or the games, on Saturdays. The dream at the time, took for granted the security of life and property, motorable roads, a functional and safe train and air transportation system, and peaceful coexistence amongst the sub-nationalities of Nigeria. The Nigerian dream or the Nigeria of my dream has become elusive for me, and I bet, for most of the over 200 million people living in Nigeria. I, like many other Nigerians had to migrate to other countries to, as they say, seek the greener pastures and to pursue a more functional education opportunity. I migrated to the United States of America, but was that the solution? I ran into the shock of bills (no free lunch) and the continuation of the rat race, from the Nigerian Dream to the American Dream. But did the American society inspire hope for the American Dream versus the Nigerian society and any hope that an honest Nigerian could realize the Nigerian Dream? This book is a memoir of sorts, with the thoughts of a concerned citizen, and it contains skills for citizen-leadership productive engagement in nation building, specifically for Project Nigeria, and perhaps for any other country in search of its unique identity and a path to national cohesion and development. What America represents may remain a question, but the American dream appears substantially vivid to many people. This may not be true for the numerous African Americans and other minorities thrown into the somewhat elusive dream for equality under the law (same law for every citizen), liberty, and the freedom to have a fair shot at the opportunities (not handouts) to prosper, succeed, and own a business and a home. But what is the Nigerian Dream? Questions, questions, and more questions.
