Create chain reaction: This is all about creating progressive chain of events sequenced to create grassroots prosperity. Western economies mastered that art a long time ago. Today, it is Africa’s turn. Secret is to bring right job creator mindsets under one large umbrella, where economic leadership mandates right teams and right departments to achieve right goals on a fast track basis.

Speed of execution: Globally accepted, entrepreneurialism creates enterprises, the question is which government agencies need upskilling, to fully optimize the potential of the small medium business sector and create a national mobilization process, and gain public support. It sounds simple because it is; the difficulty lies in authoritative skills, mobilization strategy and global age speed and execution.

Winning Elections: today it is far more about long-term strategy, message and delivery of the promise.

The secret is to start fast and build from the ground up.

Needed are authoritative, collaborative debates and deployment blueprints. What is missing, what is stopping? Africa can quadruple its global reach within no time. New challenges for leadership are not to occupy with what is missing but already hidden in abundance. Growth is not about larger buildings but enlarging larger market shares. Such achievements are not about the unlimited advertising and promotions with global travels, as they are more about digital execution delivering the right persona, balanced quality-image, right language and perfect messages.

Money is not always the answer, but it is always the mind; it is about ‘will-power’ to change, force to advance and ‘focus’ to go deeper. Like, it is not about the richest company but the most agile, not the most educated team but the most collaborative and not the most trained and skilled but the most curious to discover and learn new things. The art of execution and science of mobilization is about creating national debates and creating tactical battlefields of innovative thinking for common good.
