The book combines two authors%u2019 extensive experience in governance and leadership, together with numerous in-depth interviews with eminent governors and leaders from business, finance and government. The result is a radical re-appraisal of what it means to lead and govern, one that builds from the human core and extends to embrace the interrelationships of four levels of governance from the personal to the systemic.

Each chapter ends with a checklist of key questions and practical steps for learning and progress.%u201cIt is about the humanity behind what happens in board rooms, and how to develop its presence...

The Auditor Report has highlighted the need to strengthen leadership and governance capacities of most of the local government administrations by appointing qualified professionals and bridging the current skills gap. All this points to a serious need for not only formal education but also training, experience and, above all, inspiration in leadership across the nation, the continent and the world.Governance & Leadership addresses this urgent need directly %u2013 and with a particular focus on the human aspects. Every success or failure can ultimately be traced to human attitudes and behaviours. Leaders%u2019 values, and their ability to make good decisions, communicate well and work together, can make all the difference between failure and success.CONTENTSPart I %u2013 The meaning of governance Chapter 1: Being human %u2013 a workable framework Chapter 2: Governing and leading within a democratic context Part II %u2013 Self-governance Chapter 3: Why self-governance?
