Popularly known Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame has proven that he is a class act in leadership but not only a musical guru. The widely known ‘Rap Doctor’ has spoken greatly on leadership in his conversation on Daakye Kanea, as he shared his leadership experiences and has advised upcoming youth to take up leadership roles for the betterment of the African continent.
Okyeame explained that a leader must have a vision, skill, and passion to inspire and lead others. Leadership as he defines “requires finding a fine balance between where your followers want to go and where you as a leader think they should go”.

“African’s need to stop focusing on the destructive history of the continent and the undesirable elements that remain. Instead, our leaders need to focus on the aspect that makes Africa the great place it is and how we will move the continent forward”
He also made an insightful submission that for Africa to become a global leader, the mindset of its leaders must change. He stressed that having a positive attitude will help maximize performance which will have a ripple effect on others. “African’s need to stop focusing on the destructive history of the continent and the undesirable elements that remain. Instead, our leaders need to focus on the aspect that makes Africa the great place it is and how we will move the continent forward” he stated.
Okyeame Kwame used the platform to correct the general perception most people tend to associate with leadership. He mentioned that leadership must not be seen in only political leaders or CEO’s but must be seen in all manners. In his words “a leader is that first-person amongst other people to stand up and say let’s do this, it is the right thing to do” and not necessarily the one in a political office or a multi-national company.
Okyeame Kwame is a songwriter, musician, and Made in Ghana Ambassador who is passionate about getting Ghanaians to patronize Ghanaian made products alongside his career of producing good music.
