SummaryWhat does it Busara's tagline mean: 'transformational leadership, from the inside out'?To what extent are there truly different global south-normed leadership models?Does personality still play an important role as well, in addition to national or regional cultural differences in leadership approaches?In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview Taaka Awori, Founder & CEO of Busara Africa, a leadership development services company, on redefining leadership in Africa. Taaka's Bio:Founder and CEO of Busara Africa, a pan-African leadership development firm based in Accra, GhanaAuthor of the book Leadership Redefined: Untold StoriesAssociate Certified Coach with International Coaching Federation (ICF)Podcast host of Leadership Redefined: Untold StoriesMember of the editorial board of Coaching PerspectivesChair of the board of the African Women's Development Fund (AWDF)Former Country Director of AAIAssistant Social Development Adviser, DFID (now called FCDO)Degrees from Harvard and Columbia Universities We discuss: Taaka started specializing in leadership development and organizational development, after discovering as a Country Director at ActionAid that what was most needed from her was good leadership – not any technical specializationBusara's tagline is - transformational leadership from the inside out – signals that leadership starts with self-awareness and self-regulationEqually, good leadership is a combination of not just intellect or analytical capabilities, but also innate and learned wisdom, and the heartOther premises of Busara: let's build on the examples of excellent leadership in Africa (not the negative examples); and feminist leadership70% of Busara's clients are NGOs; the rest are private sector and government agenciesHow are African leadership models distinct, if in any way, from global North-formed models? Another distinct element is the explicit inclusion of politization and thus the need for leaders to be aware of this, and to navigate it in a mission focused manner Busara is also interested to learn more about what's to be learned from leaders of informal, non-registered organizations: informal worker associations, social movements and networksInteresting sub-continental dimensions of leadership within the African continent Resources:Taaka's LinkedIn ProfileTaaka's WebsiteTaaka's book: Leadership Redefined: Untold StoriesLeadership in Africa Redefined PodcastBusara Africa Website YouTube video Click here to subscribe or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.orgTwitter LinkedIn Facebook Youtube

In this podcast, Journalist Rhoda Metcalfe asks Dr. Osili about her work and why there aren't more women economists on the continent. Transcript: https://bit.ly/4bhCfvP

For many women and girls in Africa, getting their hair is a done is an essential ritual to feel and look good. Many find the hair salon to be one of the few places where they have time for themselves, to chat, laugh, to share good news and sorrows.

In today's Africa Daily Alan Kasujja has been speaking to Marie-Alix de Putter, the founder of the ‘Heal by Hair' initiative. She explains why she believes that hairdressers have the under valued skills that could help African women with their mental health challenges and how her hair stylist helped her at the worst moment of her life.

He discovers that he now inhabits her body. [00:00:48] Jess O'Reilly: So not only have he and his wife traded bodies, but Elizabeth living as Eli, has disappeared without a trace, and what follows is Eli's search across Europe, to America, to find his missing wife, and an exploration of gender and embodied experience. As Eli comes closer to finding Elizabeth while learning to exist in her body, he begins to wonder what effect this metamorphosis will have on their relationship, and how long he can maintain the illusion of of living as someone he isn't. [00:01:17] Jess O'Reilly: And the questions, you know, are will their new marriage wither completely in each other's bodies, or is this transformation the very thing Eli and Elizabeth need for their marriage? to thrive. So I'm really looking forward to this conversation. I've been reading the book. I'm almost done. I thought I'd be done by today, but I have a lot of questions about some of the messaging and themes, and I think it's going to be a great conversation. [00:01:37] Jess O'Reilly: Now, before we welcome our guest, I'll want to announce a partnership with fellow podcasters Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women. The podcast, season two, is out now and it's hosted by Nana Darkwa Sakiyama and Malaika Grant. The podcast explores African women's experiences of sex, sexuality, [00:02:00] and pleasure and they have a host of fabulous guests in their bedroom this season. [00:02:05] Jess O'Reilly: They have top sexpert Ohlone from the UK, fabulous comedienne Yvonne Orji. Feminist powerhouse, Mona Altahawe, and many, many more. And they're asking all their guests, what's your sexy secret? What's your secret, babe? [00:02:19] Brandon Ware: I can't tell you. It's a secret. That's why it's a secret. [00:02:21] Jess O'Reilly: So predictable. Okay. That and so much more in the new season of the Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women podcast out now. [00:02:30] Jess O'Reilly: Listen, wherever you get your podcasts.
