Unchained Leadership - Paperback

by Edward Ackah Nyamike Ph. D. (Author)

Effective leadership is a crucial element in all human endeavours. It inspires, supports, guides and ensures the achievement of the goals and vision of a group. Unfortunately, stories about failed leadership abound at various levels of society and the situation is worsened by the mystery that appears to surround the concept of leadership. In this book, "Unchained Leadership", Dr. Ackah-Nyamike Jnr. attempts to demystify leadership by exploring the basic functions of a leader vis-à-vis the traits and qualities required by leaders to perform effectively. This exploration is seated within a deep conviction that: leadership is needed wherever two or more people are gathered with a goal or vision; and effective leadership is achievable.
