There is be no doubt that the protests in Egypt over the have captured the world's attention over the past two weeks. Post-election tensions in Côte d'Ivoire have also been widely covered by the world's media.
Although these issues have become rather common and almost stereotypical of African politics, there does seem to be progress being made in overcoming them.
Just over a week ago, Mali held a peaceful election which saw civilian rule restored after a year of military rule. Former President Tanjda is now serving time in prison over corruption charges during his time as president.
Yesterday it was announced that South Sudan had voted for independence from the North; the culmination of a relatively peaceful referendum save for some clashes in the region of Abyei and elsewhere. Although many issues remain that will need to be addressed, South Sudan is now poised to become the world's newest nation in six months time.
These cases - added to others such as Ghana being politically stable for almost 20 years - give us hope that there can indeed be an Africa where peaceful transitions of power - true leadership - are the norm.

Transactional vs. Relational Leadership
Over the next few weeks, the folks over at Lead Change Group are going to be running a series on the differences between Transactional and Relational Leadership. What are those, you might ask. To find out, simply read the first installment:
Have you ever thought about the words we use to describe relationships? Our entire paradigm for how we relate to one another is economic. We ‘spend’ time with family. We ‘invest’ training and resources in employees. When we feel neglected by our spouse we tell them they don’t ‘value’ us nearly enough. I’ll get that promotion when my boss recognizes how much I ‘contribute’ to the team.
Seth Godin has said that leadership, at it’s core, is marketing and marketing is leadership. As leaders we’re selling a vision, an idea, a method, a system. We market our influence and hope someone will ‘buy in’. This economic model for relationships affects our approach to leadership at every level. It’s transactional in nature. Quid pro quo. I’ll follow you if I get something in return. You’ll follow me when you realize my idea has more than merit, it has value that will benefit you personally. They say all politics is local. Well, all leadership is transactional and everyone’s looking for an ROI (return on investment) that far exceeds the risk they take when they believe in you.

What would happen if we changed the language of leadership? What if we stopped using the words of Wall Street to describe how a leader relates to others? Transactional Leadership relies heavily on 4 words that have more to do with economics than leadership. What if we replaced these 4 words with new words, better words? Words designed to inspire, empower and engage people.
- Value vs. Respect
- Invest vs. Serve
- Buy-in vs. Trust
- Contribute vs. Collaborate
These aren’t simply 4 contrasting ideas. They are a progressive pattern for how ‘Relational Leadership’ works. They are guiding principles that build one on top of the other.
Over the next several weeks we’re going to explore the differences between Transactional Leadership and Relational Leadership. We’ll discover how these four guiding principles leverage the power of influence, magnify the effectiveness of a team and create a vibrant culture where individual and corporate potential explodes with exponential growth.
It’s going to be a great series. As we get ready to dive in I have some questions for you.
- What’s been your experience with ‘Transactional Leadership’? Was it positive or negative?
- Do you think it’s possible to describe our relationships without using words that are economic in nature?
God Bless,
Chad
I'll be re-posting each installment as it becomes available, so make sure you keep an eye out for them!

UN Women - Promoting gender equality across Africa
MediaClubSouthAfrica.com reports:
The creation of a new body, UN Women - or the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women - was celebrated on 30 January 2011 at the 16th Summit of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Speaking about the new entity at the summit, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said: "There is progress here and there on the continent regarding women's rights, but we must go much further to ensure greater gender equality in Africa. It is not just a matter of justice as the facts show indeed that gender equality is a factor of growth and social peace."
The entity should place emphasis on African women's access to education, health and political responsibility, Ban added.
Achieving gender equality was a key theme of the 2011 AU summit.
"We need to empower African women who produce food, raise children and drive the economy. When women take their rightful place at the negotiating table, in parliament and in leadership positions across society, we can unleash Africa's enormous potential. UN Women is here to help reach this goal," said the secretary-general.
Unveiling UN Women's new logo at the summit, its executive director Michelle Bachelet said: "A vision of how much more is possible when men and women have equal rights and opportunities will drive UN Women. We will be bold and ambitious in our aspirations and we will also be practical in building an organisation that can make a lasting difference in women's lives."
Bachelet was Chile's first woman president, serving her term from 11 March 2006 to 11 March 2010. She prioritised women's issues during her tenure and has been working with the UN Development Fund for Women (Unifem) since leaving office.
Pushing gender equality
UN Women was created in July 2010 at a UN General Assembly session and became operational on 1 January 2011.
It merges four previously distinct entities of the UN focusing on gender equality: Division for the Advancement of Women; International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women; Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women; and Unifem.
UN Women will see to the development of women-friendly policies, and help member states implement and monitor them.

Coach Yourself to Productivity
Here's another piece of advice from Aled Davies who has been featured quite often on this blog. Taking a slight discourse from his usual discussions on how to to improve communication, Aled's focus this time is on productivity (specifically, Coaching Yourself to Productivity - Accomplish more in less time). Have a read and stay on top of those deadlines!
On a daily basis I can get overwhelmed by the amount of information I need to consume, decisions I need to make and outputs I need to deliver. I’ve noticed how easy it is to become susceptible to the evils of overwhelm; conflicting priorities, task-creep and intolerance. The secret, I’ve realised, isn’t to get more done in less time, let’s not confuse productivity with busyness here. The secret is to actually get less done.
I bet that sounds counter intuitive to you, right? Getting less done? How can I get less done when I’ve got more to do each day? That did occur to me and that’s when I realised I needed to re-programme my mindset and find a strategy to support this belief, otherwise my current working habits would lead me to burn out.
The three biggest factors that contribute to ineffectiveness are distractions, die-hard habits and reactive thinking. So let’s deal with the biggest first.
Distractions
The biggest distraction is technology. Before I lambast the technological advancements of the 21st century, I’ll admit technology has helped to create radical efficiencies in the way we work but many of these efficiencies actually contribute to our ineffectiveness. Email, SMS, mobile phones and social media are all perpetrators of the distraction culture. We allow ourselves to be distracted by these culprits and use peculiar rules in our minds to justify these distractions; “I’m waiting for an urgent call, email, text etc..”; ”If I don’t take this call, read this email or check this text message my boss will get really mad…”; “this might be the call I’ve been waiting for…”. Ring any bells, pardon the pun? I accept that there are urgent matters to attend from time to time but if you live your life on that precipice of urgency then there’s got to be something wrong.
To beat the big distraction requires 3 disciplines;
1. Solitary Confinement -Turn off Outlook, mobile devices and any notifiers, divert all calls to voicemail. Put your mobile device out of physical reach (the physical habit of picking it up to check will be too strong to resist if it’s on your desk in front of you – habits are that strong.)
2. Task Selection – Focus on one task and one task only until it’s complete. Selecting which task to work on is simple. Only work on mission critical tasks that are directly connected to outcomes and move you closer towards goal achievement. You should know exactly what these tasks are and how they contribute to your outcomes and goals. The very last thing you do at the end of each day is to line up the three mission critical tasks for the following day, so that you know exactly what you need to do when the clock starts.
3. The 50-10-50 Rule – Set a watch or clock in front of you and for 50 uninterrupted minutes work on one task only. When 50 minutes is up, get up from your chair, take a break do something different but only for 10 minutes. Then back at your desk for another 50 minutes and work on the same task until completion. I know what you’re thinking. ‘Hold on, I’ll never complete this task in 50 minutes’, right? Then let me remind you of Parkinson’s coefficient of inefficiency which states that ‘the amount of time in which one has to perform a task is the amount of time it will take to complete said task.’ If you’ve got 5 days to complete a task, you’ll generally take 5 days to complete the task. If you’ve been given an immovable deadline of 1-hour for the same task, you’ll get it done in 1-hour, I guarantee. Set yourself immovable deadlines, become the master of your own deadlines and work to those deadlines, you’ll be surprised as to how focused and effective you can be.

Update
On Friday we had our first mentor-mentee session, and I'm glad to say that it went really well! It was great to see most mentors showed up. Again though, I must stress that these sessions are purely for mentor-mentee interaction. If for any reason no mentor in a group is able to make it on a given day, please ensure you let your mentees know so they don't end up waiting.
You may have noticed that during the mentor-mentee session, Christiana and I were meeting with mentees from last year. We are working with them to produce a stage production of Meshack Asare's The Cross Drums, our course text for this year. On the 12th of February, we'll be holding a script development workshop at Databank. It will take place between 10am and 12pm in the Boardroom. You're more than welcome to come along if you wish. You're also welcome to take part in the development of the play itself, but remember your priority should always be on your current mentees.
As usual I'll be back with more updates as they come... enjoy the week!

AU Summit Expected to Focus on Ivory Coast, Sudan
allAfrica -- The 18th Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union (AU) will hold in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 27 to 28 January 2011 under the banner of shared values. This decision was taken by the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union to have a common understanding of the values that Member States of the continental organization share and which should guide their actions toward greater unity and an integrated Africa.The Ministers of Foreign Affairs or other ministers or authorities designated by the governments of Member States who form the Executive Council will review the draft Declaration on the Summit theme "Shared Values in Africa: for greater unity and integration" before it is sent to the AU Assembly...
Showing US leadership through innovation in foreign assistance
ONE -- If you caught the president’s State of the Union address a couple of nights ago, you’d know a big part of his vision for America was focused on innovation and competitiveness. “Our success in this new and changing world,” Obama said, “will require reform, responsibility, and innovation.” He presented a bold plan to create jobs and grow our economy through reformed education, more efficient government and investment in science and technology. It was an inspiring speech that called upon Americans to “do big things.” But this talk isn’t new. Throughout government, we’ve been seeing a lot of these principles put in practice by many agencies and programs, including those working on foreign assistance. The State Department, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have all put a premium on becoming more efficient, effective and transparent in their support for poor nations and are embracing innovative ideas to save money and make a bigger impact...
Global governance in a changing world
Huffington Post -- This year's World Economic Forum meeting in Davos is focusing on the challenges of global governance. Are international institutions capable of addressing today's problems in light of recent shifts in global power? What will these institutions look like when emerging powers such as Brazil, India and South Africa have a seat at the table? Recent elections to the United Nations Security Council give us a glimpse of the future. For the next year, Brazil, India and South Africa will all sit on the 15-member council, and all three aspire to become permanent members. How will they conduct themselves? Of particular interest to me, will they join efforts to defend human rights? There is reason for both hope and apprehension...
GTUC, India to establish African IT Institute in Ghana.
GNA -- Ghana Telecom University College in collaboration with the Indian government have concluded plans to establish an Indian-African Information Technology Institute to cater for member countries of the African Union. Apart from creating indepth knowledge in information Technology, the Institute would also delve into the areas of health and education as major components of accelerated development in the continent. Mr Harish Arora, Counsellor of the Indian High Commission, announced this when the Indian and College delegations called on Vice President John Dranmani Mahama at the Castle, Osu. Mr Arora said students of the Institute would be universally accepted on account of the intensity of the courses and appealed to the Government of Ghana to support them with adequate infrastructure to bring the project into fruition...

Great news for book lovers in Ghana!
I was linked to this post through a post on Accra Books and Things. It comes from Geosi Reads, a blog chartering the journey of a book addict. Apparently, www.ghanalibrary.com is starting an eLibrary service (something I have attempted to do on this blog). It seems interesting, although the scheme itself doesn't start until tomorrow. Have a look:
Just after work yesterday, I passed by Akuafo Hall of residence only to see one of the biggest good news for any person who loves books. Right at the porters lodge of the hall, I picked up a small leaflet from the front desk.
The leaflets said:
‘Hurray!!! Students. Get unlimited access to over 500,000 books on www.ghanalibrary.com. Download on your laptop, pen drive, copy or print over 500,000 books spread across all subject disciplines; medicine, humanities, computers and IT, law Business, Agriculture, Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Literature, journals and articles, education, etc, used by other university students all over the world.’
In fact, I should say I could not hide my excitement about this news as I was much particular and keen about the books on literature. Surely, there lies my sole interest – Literature.

Below the leaflet were the steps to follow:
1. Buy your e-library scratch card for GH15 at your Ghanalibrary vendors at Porters Lodge(Hall Residence), On-the-Run, SRC Offices.
2. Visit www.ghanalibrary.com
3. Register with your ID number and your e-library scratch card pin number, and enjoy the very best of 500,000 academic textbooks and literature spread across all subject disciplines.
After going through the steps, I was eager to purchase the e-library scratch card there and then. I consulted one of the men at the porter’s lodge and I was told that the cards would be in by Friday. I am hoping to get myself a copy when the cards are finally in. I see the whole project to be an interesting one since access to books would be much more easier and cheaper. I am only hoping that most of the contemporary books would be available to download.

Steps forward in mental health
You may or may not know this, but Databank Foundation's main focus areas are Leadership Development (of which the YLMP is part) and Mental Health. I came across this post on the NGO News Africa blog which got me thinking about brain drain and its consequences. Here's an excerpt:
I find it phenomenal that there are only four practising psychiatrists in the whole of Ghana. As a psychology graduate, this news is particularly disturbing. Mental illness is as real as the flu or heart disease, and we need psychiatrists just as much as we need doctors or dentists. I sincerely hope our lack of adequate numbers of professionals in this area is not due to brain drain. If it is, we as a nation, from the government down to Kofi on the street, have some hard questions to ask ourselves.
You can read the rest of the article here.
The issue of health in Africa is big news. Billions of dollars are spent annually, to fight diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, water-borne parasites and TB. These issues are rightly being targeted in efforts to improve the health of Africa, but one of the next challenges must be to change the attitudes regarding mental health across the continent. Psychiatrics is a specialism which African healthcare has tended to overlook.
In Ghana, government spending on mental health services represents just 3.9% of the total health budget (the equivalent figure in the UK is 12%). This funding is shared between Ghana’s three psychiatric hospitals, which are all clustered in the south of the country. There are only four psychiatrists currently practising in the public sector, all of whom are based in the south.
A serious lack of education also exists. A report published in the International Journal of Mental Health Systems found that 81% of community pharmacists in Ghana gave ‘inadequate education’ as their reason for not being involved in psychiatric treatment. Consequently, BasicNeeds, the foremost mental health NGO in Ghana, are working within a challenging environment.
BasicNeeds operates in the rural Northern regions of Ghana, and in the capital, Accra- where we visited the quarterly outreach programmes at Mamprobi and Kaneshi polyclinics. These clinics allow for outpatients to be reviewed and given medications, as well as providing an opportunity for new patients to see the psychiatric team for the first time. Demand for these services is high; when we visited the clinics, queues were long and resources stretched. Despite this pressure, we witnessed a careful approach being taken by staff, with a great deal of empathy and care being shown to each patient.
I find it phenomenal that there are only four practising psychiatrists in the whole of Ghana. As a psychology graduate, this news is particularly disturbing. Mental illness is as real as the flu or heart disease, and we need psychiatrists just as much as we need doctors or dentists.

Reminder: Mentor-mentee session this week
Morning folks! Just a quickie to remind you about our first mentor-mentee session this Friday. It'll take place at Kinbu (classroom 3D) at 3pm. Remember that these sessions are purely for mentor-mentee interactions; we haven't planned any activities so kindly ensure that at least one mentor from each group will be able to make it. These sessions will be ideal for you to work on your Appraisal Forms if you haven't started already. If you've not seen our schedule for the term already, you can have a look at it here.
See you Friday!
See you Friday!
