Ethical Leadership in Africa: con chi?

Mi piacerebbe che gli Usa si dessero di più da fare per innalzare il livello etico dei regimi di altri Paesi africani ben relazionati economicamente e militarmente con gli Usa, ma che fanno strame di diritti umani

Oggetto: The future of Africa is here

Hi Carlo,

What does the future of Africa look like? I’ve just arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa to get a first-hand look. Tomorrow, we kick off year two of our Leaders: Africa program with five days of inspiring events and speakers.

Last year, we were overwhelmed by the imagination and talent of our inaugural class of Leaders - a group of 200 changemakers from nations across Africa who continue to lift each other up as they chart the future of their continent.

This year, we’re looking forward to bringing a new class together, as well as a few Leaders from last year, for a week of activities and discussions about what it means to lead.

And one of the best parts? You can join us for two powerful conversations - wherever you are. We’ll be livestreaming the following sessions at obama.org/Africa (and we’ll host them there afterwards if you want to catch up).

Ethical Leadership in Africa with Trevor Manuel and Nozipho Mbanjwa
Thursday, July 11 at 6:30AM CDT / 1:30PM SAST

Trevor Manuel, the former Minister of Finance of South Africa, will sit down with entrepreneur and broadcaster Nozipho Mbanjwa for a powerful conversation about ethical leadership - even when it’s difficult or lonely. Hear their thoughts on making unpopular, but principled, choices and overcoming unique obstacles to obtain positions of leadership.

Leadership and Legacy with Fred Swaniker and Ben Rhodes
Sunday, July 14 at 10:00AM CDT / 5:00PM SAST

Fred Swaniker, founder of the African Leadership Academy and African Leadership University - as well as one of Time’s most influential people in the world in 2019 - joins Ben Rhodes, former senior advisor to President Obama, to discuss the journey of leadership, the work of empowering and training ethical leaders, and how the next generation can tackle timely challenges.

Be sure to catch these livestreams at obama.org/Africa and meet the new class of Leaders we have joining us in Johannesburg this year.

I can’t wait to meet these new Leaders and hear how we can support them as they help drive Africa’s future. And I hope you follow along with our livestreams and on social media - there will be no shortage of inspiration!
