The Need For Effective Leadership In Combating Financial Crime In The African Continental Free Trade Zone.

he Need for Effective Leadership is to Promote the fight against Financial Crime in Africa and help to advance Africa Trade Development Agenda

Financial Crime is a major African’s problem, and combating it requires effective leadership at all levels.

Africa remains at high risk of Financial Crime distress, and the risks have risen in the context of recent large fiscal deficits...

All sectors of African’s Leadership must either act now or never! African Leaders often say that criminal activities are like a lifestyle in the African’s continent: but if left undealt with, the consequences will have adverse effect and will destroy the economic development of Africa and lessen the trust in our Public and Private Institutions. Similarly, leaders must build up effective Political governance within their institutions, the Will and capacity needed to crack down on Financial Crime agents or agencies in the areas of Money Laundering, Counter Terrorism Financing, Fraud, Drug deals, Bribery and Corruption and smugglers, why? Because these criminals have a lot of criminal strategies to evade our African Territories – for example, if they are restricted in the land routes – they would use sea routes- when they are restricted on the seas they use the air. That’s why targeted interventions often have limited impact on Financial Crime and criminal activities in Africa: we need to look at the Leadership capacities and effectiveness in pursing the African Continental Free Trade Zone Area agenda as a big picture, besides the good initiatives and benefits therein it also has negative sides effect of its to tell the whole story of how the criminals are moving on Roads, Seas and air (aviation industry), and the poor border crossing security Agencies of Nations in Africa. This Book intends to tell the story of the poor suffering African’s people with few livelihood options. It is a complex story, with many interconnections; at the heart of which the African Continental Free Trade Zone area lies. While Africa has spread a plethora of beneficial innovations around the world, it has also had many negative consequences in both large and small countries through illicit financial outflows: in fact, security problems in the entire nations of Africa are closely related to the development challenges posed by the Money Laundered to finance Terrorism and Civil Conflicts of Africa. Though the side effects of Financial Crime are particularly strong in the African’s poorest countries those least equipped to respond to these impacts are more vulnerable.

This Book looks at how the role of effective Leadership contributes in the fight beyond specific countries Against Financial Crime and illicit financial flows (fin-iffs) in the African region. The Book zeroed in on Financial Crime, illicit Financial Flows, like Money Laundering, Bribery and Corruption and illicit trade to illustrate the larger scale and the need for effectiveness of African Leaders to combat this menaced: criminal activity is a source of Financial Crime that has a direct relationship to effective Leadership and the dangers it poses for good governance and delivery of social services in Africa. This nexus has received little scholastic attention, yet criminal activity continues to pose negative impact on National development in Africa that hamper effective governance.

Assessing the Attribute and Qualities Needed in the Orange Mobile Network Company in Sierra Leone

This Book is written with the specific purpose of trying to assess the Orange Mobile Network Company in Sierra Leone and put together a framework of points that can be used as a guide by both existing and aspiring Leaders to deal with the Leadership challenges that exist in their functional and professional roles of Leadership within the Orange Mobile Network Company framework. Research shows us that there are various methodologies and models propagated in the professional space which Leaders can refer to but the common thread that ties them all is the fact that they propose a particular approach while mostly remaining silent on the other approaches. While conducting the research it was observed that a few books and articles has been written on communication, but none has focuses on assessing Orange Mobile Network Company quality and attributes desirable Leadership related to experts such as Kenneth Blanchard and John Adair do propose a more holistic approach to the subject and not any particular model as such.

The thesis is divided into a few chapters and the first of the chapter‘s deals with trying to understand the topic of Leadership. It‘s an often repeated word but does everybody who uses it really understand what it entails and what the role that it plays in society is. People are regularly encouraged to step up and take charge and demonstrate their ability to handle the challenges that come their way but without being privy to how to do it or what it actually means. This chapter therefore discusses how it is, the ability to influence others positively to achieve a common goal within and outside the cycles of Orange.

The second chapter deals with the styles of Leadership that one must acknowledge within the framework to make things easier for Leadership work within and outside of the Company. The terms that we hear generally such as autocratic or democratic are actually political in their origin. Therefore it is rather dangerous to suggest that a particular style or model is more correct than another or appropriate for all situations. This chapter puts together the generally accepted models or styles of leadership prevalent today with the objective

Significance Of Leadership A Case for Public and Private Sector Development

Why is a Good Leader so Hard to Find in Private and Public Sectors? Being a leader, even a so-called successful one, is not necessarily anything to be proud of. Being a “good” leader, however, is a much different thing in the Private and Public Sectors. Anyone who has studied leadership long in enough knows there is no shortage of information available on what it supposedly means to be a good leader or the take to make a good leader as sickle for good Private and Public sectors. Discussions on leadership are everywhere. A quick scan of the internet will produce an untold amount of material— some scholarly, some from the business world, and some from a variety of companies designed to help organizations improve their leadership capacity. Professional development courses and degree programs are also available to help people become effective leaders in their various filed. Despite all the resources available on leadership, it seems we are still experiencing a leadership crisis and vacuumed. The concepts of good leadership, it appears, are not getting through. Over many years the authors have asked a variety of people informally to identify five exceptional leaders they have come across: individuals who truly exemplify effective and admirable leadership. Most people cannot complete the task. Some struggle to identify few individuals they know, whom they respect as a truly excellent leaders. Almost without exception, those individuals considered as possibly good leaders are identified as having one significant deficit or another. At the same time, the people we questioned did not struggle to come up with examples of truly bad leaders. And they were not very forgiving in their assessments. This phenomenon of the bad leader and the horrible boss is so prevalent that it inspired mine to continue the discussion. It is hard to fathom how bad leaders and bosses can survive in a private and public’s filled with volumes of leadership advice, but they do. That there are so many poor leaders telling us we still have much to learn on the leadership front.

Develop to Understand the Styles and concept of your Leadership To Help Save your Society: What does it Mean to be A Good Leader?

Anyone can be a leader, but to be a successful leader can be a real challenge. A leader needs to be able to draw on a vast array of skills and attributes and be able to apply them at the right time and in the right way. Above all a leader has to recognize that his/her success will ultimately depend on the people that he/she leads which means creating an environment in which all of these people can flourish. What does a leader need to do to create this environment? This book suggests that it depends to a great extent on the styles and the example set by the leader whose behavior sets the tone and creates the culture for a team or a Society. If the leader is not always honest, how can team members be expected to be? If the leader is not committed to the vision of his Society how can team members be expected to be? Put simply, a successful leader has to behave at least as well as he/she asks of everyone he/she purports to lead. People are influenced by example, good or bad, and the example set by any leader will have a significant impact on the long-term success, or otherwise, of their team or the Society. People consciously or subconsciously seek role models to see how they do things and then replicate those behaviors. Leading your Society by example is not exactly rocket science. Many of the behaviors that are covered in this book require little more than behaving as a decent, considerate human being should behave towards others, combined with a clear vision and commitment to do the best that is possible. So, whether you are a leader of a large Society with thousands of I habitants’, Societal Leaders, there are ideas in this book that should help you to be more successful at what you do.
