Youth Unemployment Demands Attention!

According to research, Africa is at tipping point. Whether it continues rising or falls back depends, above all else, on whether the continent creates the conditions in which its greatest resources - its young people - can shine. Six out of 10 Africans are under 25. Between 2019 and 2050, the youth population will almost double from almost 230m to 452m. Their potential is to drive Africa's progress goes far beyond numbers. As a group, they are more adventurous, more entrepreneurial and spend longer in school than past generations. They have set their sights higher, wanting to emulate counterparts in other continents rather than achieve goals set by their parents.

This draws attention to how the commodity cycle of recent years may have supercharged the gross domestic product of many Africa nati...

Without accountability, even the most brilliant, hard - working, well - intentioned world leaders will fail, they will fail to meet their performance goals, they will fail to develop their teams, they will fail to hire top talent, they will fail to set good and effective examples for their employees, they will fail to communicate clearly, they will fail to optimize performance, they will also fail in doing business. Effective leadership requires real accountability. What Is Accountability? According to Brandon Hall, 'When leaders take personal accountability, they are willing to answer for the outcomes of their choices, their behavior, and their actions in all situations in which they are involved.

Leadership

Written by: Azugbene Godson Solomon I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers. You don't lead by pointing and telling people place to go.
