Description

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS BOOK Here is a clear summary of the objective of The Leadership Laboratory Experimental Test for Africa as described in the available sources about the work by Professor Paul Allieu Kamara: Objective of The Leadership Laboratory Experimental Test for Africa The core purpose of The Leadership Laboratory Experimental Test for Africa is to serve as a scientific and practical framework for strengthening leadership across Africa by combining theory, experimentation, and real-world assessment. Its main objectives include: Professionalize Leadership Development Across the Continent — The test is designed to formalize leadership as a systematic science rather than only a set of descriptive skills, with the goal of identifying what works in African contexts and why. Assess and Experiment with Leadership Styles — It uses experimental methods to measure how different leadership approaches perform in real situations, especially how they handle complex challenges that African leaders face. This includes testing leadership effectiveness, ethical orientation, and adaptability. Build “Fertile” Leadership for Societal and Industrial Development — An explicit objective is to determine whether a given leadership style is “fertile” or capable of supporting sustainable industrialization and socio-economic progress in African countries. Develop Practically Tested Leadership Models — Rather than relying solely on Western leadership theories, this framework aims to generate African-rooted evidence about what leadership principles actually drive success in institutions and communities across the continent. Enhance Ethical and Effective Leadership — Part of the test includes evaluating leaders on ethical decision-making and accountability, seeking to promote integrity alongside performance.
