| Summary: | Values include a set of principles, ideas, or beliefs that guide an individual and society in an endeavor to carry out defined objectives or national program or purposes related to the attainment of political, social, and economic goals for the benefit of the people. As a result, values are very important to national leadership This book focuses on pertinent political and social issues in Botswana, South Africa, and Tanzania during the leadership of Seretse Khama, Nelson Mandela, and Julius Nyerere respectively. It is a critical analysis of the nature of good and effective national leadership in these three nations based upon the values that the leaders embraced to serve their respective countries. Drawing implications for other countries of the region, the author demonstrates what he considers to be good national leadership by providing insights into the political careers of Seretse Khama of Botswana, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania. The values that these three national leaders shared in common and which made them successful include integrity, loyalty to principle, honesty, respect to democracy, confidence in the ability of the people to make viable contribution to national policy and programs. |
