Leadership in Africa

“The laws of politics in Nigeria are way different to those in Europe.” Prof. John Godson.

In this eye-opening episode of How to Become a Leader in Africa, Prof. John Godson draws from his unique first-hand experience of campaigning for political office both in Europe and in Nigeria. As the first black person elected to Poland's parliament, Godson brings a wealth of knowledge about navigating political landscapes across two very different continents.

With a deep understanding of the contrasts in political systems, Prof. Godson reveals the practical differences and the unique challenges faced in leadership roles within both environments. He explores how culture, history, and societal values influence political strategies, and why the rules of the game are so different when leading in Africa compared to Europe.
