Dr. Patience Abor, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Public Administration and Health Services Management at the University of Ghana Business School, has lamented about the lack of visionary leaders in Africa.
“I don’t know but I think the key thing will be a vision. I get the sense that we don’t have visionary leaders anymore. People can’t see beyond their term of offices, people can’t see beyond their families and themselves they can’t see far.
Vision is about perceiving the future, seeing things beyond now and I don’t seem to see that in our African leaders these days. I read about some visionary leaders but now maybe I’m yet to wear the lens, I can’t see”, Dr. Abor said in an interview on ‘Daakye Kanea’ leadership podcast
The University of Ghana Business School’s senior lecturer defined leadership as the ability to make another person outside of yourself want to be better. She added that if you can make someone want to dream more and be better then you are a leader.
