Leadership Transformational

"In Africa, when an old man dies, a library burns", said Sembène Ousmane. Indeed, the African old man, symbol of great erudition and repository of knowledge, is consumed by death and flies into tatters with all the knowledge embodied, because he is simply an adept of orality and a seasoned advocate of the practice of withholding information. Pharaonic Egypt, traditional Africa and the Africa of today are all hostile to the popularisation of knowledge. This mental pathology that constantly plagues the take-off of the black continent is the essential foundation of this book as one of the keys to analysis and intellectual aggression ever placed in the hands of French-speaking sub-Saharan Africans and PhD candidates in transformational leadership research at the Université de l'Alliance Chrétienne in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. The 70 books summarised here, analysed and applied from a transformational perspective, should be of enormous help to doctoral students in tackling their Reading Report evaluation tasks with joy and success. A commendable transformational contribution!
