In most African nations, poor leadership is a reflection of the leadership culture rather than just an issue with those in positions of authority. In their seminal work “Why Nations Fail,” Acemoglu and Robinson contend that the political growth of industrialised and emerging nations differs significantly. In this context, the leaders of Egypt and Ethiopia, El Sisi and Abiy Ahmed, should be mentioned. It’s a little unusual to witness capable leaders like Al Sisi and Abiy Ahmed seek out foreign actors’ assistance. An evaluation of the entire leadership culture is necessary to identify any gaps for leadership development, particularly in Africa.
