Ghanaian-conceived African Human Advancement Master Dr. Ishmael Nii Amanor Dodoo has said that any one who profoundly wants to play any position of authority in the change of Africa should initially change themselves.
"Experiencing childhood in Africa and working across the mainland all through my profession I have arrived at the resolution that the best way to actually address the horde of difficulties confronting Africa is for those at the front of achieving those changes to change themselves first," he stated.Dr. Dodoo, who is likewise a Senior Technique Counselor to legislatures, UN and multilateral establishments, was talking in a meeting with Worldwide Honor Winning Administration Specialist, Chief Mentor, Creator, and Speaker Modesta Mahiga on her 360 Initiative Digital broadcast.
Dr. Dodoo thinks current and planned African pioneers need the to have right outlook, capabilities, abilities, methods of reasoning, and individual qualities to frame their vision, in the event that they were to successfully addresses the difficulties of the landmass.
He made sense of that Africa is a very multi-faceted landmass with a few societies, religions, frameworks and designs, yet many individuals don't find opportunity to comprehend the mainland and it's elements prior to deciding to take administrative roles on the landmass.
As per him, the way of thinking of the Africans, their native frameworks and designs as far as how things are finished on the mainland are everything that should be appropriately unwound through anthropological examinations to act as an asset for any individual who wants to be at the front of Africa's change.
"Anybody looking to lead in any African nation - whether in governmental issues, business or inside the financial space with a dream to assist with changing Africa should initially change themselves and reevaluate their way to deal with managing the people groups, frameworks and designs.
"You can't give what you don't have - that is the way of thinking I'm driving at present," said Dr. Dodoo, who is likewise an eminent voice on youth initiative, impact and self change for viable administration.
Dr. Dodoo further expressed that few Africans with the advantage of western schooling who are looking for positions of authority in Africa will generally think they use some unrivaled information and abilities that improves them put than individuals on the mainland to lead the change of the landmass, however that idea is off-base.
As per him, having traversed and worked in no less than 36 African nations on the ticket of the UN and other multilateral foundation as counsel on human turn of events and expert to a few presidents, he can see that Africa has extremely gifted and savvy individuals, then again, actually the frameworks, designs and societies are tremendous and changed and those are disturbances that anybody looking to lead the change of the landmass can't overlook.
He accepts Africa is ready to be at the front of worldwide change in the 22nd Hundred years, yet that will take pioneers who will change themselves, starting with a contemplative glance at their very own motivation, reason, and values and how those are connected to their longing to lead African states."Anyone trying to lead the change of Africa first necessities to ask himself what rouses them, what is their motivation throughout everyday life and what are the focal points (values) through which the view the world. On the off chance that those three components are more childish than for everyone's benefit, you should not be going into authority in Africa," he said.
Dr. Dodoo contended that larger part of individuals in legislative issues on the African mainland got in either by some coincidence or unintentionally on the grounds that a relative or companion was in there and offered them a chance to likewise get in and gain some private advantage, and to that end the issues of Africa are as yet not being settled.
He anyway accepts there are as yet a couple of individuals in governmental issues who are driven by a certified longing to change the mainland and those are his concentration to cooperate with them to get Africa into the position where it can lead the world to greatness in the 22nd hundred years.
The elephant and lion similarity
Dr. Dodoo recounted a legendary story from his late father, about why the elephant is the greatest creature in the wilderness yet the lion is the ruler of the wilderness. He said the elephant was seen by all wilderness inhabitants as risky on the grounds that its development and boisterous trumpeting sounds normally frightened everybody, obliterated plants and made everybody anxious.
The creatures and plants in this way met and concluded the elephant was an issue that should have been eliminated in light of a legitimate concern for everybody. Thus, they made the lion lord and the lion concluded that the elephant would fill a preferable need dead over alive. It ought to be killed and eaten as opposed to being permitted to move around and alarm everybody.
"That is the reason when there is a major central concern in gatherings, we frequently portray it as the 'glaring issue at hand'. As such, we want to eliminate the elephants in administrative roles on the African landmass before we can truly experience harmony and the favorable environment to bring change," he said.
"The obvious issue at hand for this situation alludes to those in administration for egotistical interest as opposed to ultimately benefit the landmass."
