African leaders

Fred Swaniker (yesterday's post) has a passion to develop a new generation of leaders for the continent of Africa.  His goal is to produce leaders that are both effective and ethical through the African Leadership Academy (ALA).

If they make the cut, teenagers 15-19 come from all over the continent.  Their application is considered on the basis of what kind of contribution they can make to the development of businesses and institutions.

The impact of a leader is great, Fred says, especially in Africa. In another TED talk he tells the story of one of ALA's graduates who has blessed thousands of lives - and he's only 22.
