New paper on leadership

'Realities of Change: Understanding How African NGO Leaders Develop'

This new Praxis Paper has been written by Rick James with Julius Oladipo, Moses Isooba, Betsy Mboizi and Ida Kusiima - and illustrated by Charles Onen.

It summarises the main findings of a programme of research into leadership undertaken by CORAT Africa in Kenya, INTRAC in Malawi and the Community Development Resource Network (CDRN) in Uganda.

These organisations interviewed 45 non-governmental organisation leaders to find out their perspectives on leadership; the nature of the leadership change processes they had experienced; and the factors that had promoted and constrained change in their leadership behaviour in the past.
