The world is at a turning point.

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus named COVID-19 has shown the underbelly of humanities fragility, even in the most advanced developed countries.

The World’s priorities need a hard reset

20 years into the 21st century and the global issues that command attention of the leaders are issues and challenges are huge and life-threatening - the threat of climate change, health pandemics, Artificial Intelligence Policy, Education Investment, Impact Investing.

Our Current Leaders have too much stake in the present and too little stake in the future

These challenges require new ways and new thinking and new approaches. These new approaches will be brought forward only by creative thinking that young leaders, who have more stake in the future, are expected to bring forward.

Foreword By Mr Raphael Obonyo, United Nations Youth Advisor

This book “Lead the People” is released at a time when humanity is facing an acute crisis not only due to the coronavirus pandemic, but also due to lack of responsible and people centred leadership. Undoubtedly, to defeat the global virus, strong, focused and sane leadership is required. Jude makes a call for youth leadership, which is obviously important. It further provides important tools that can enable youth leaders to make impact. Indeed, youth leadership would mean nothing it fails to provide fresh leadership free from the vices that have held hostage the older generation.

Special Recommendation by Professor Remi Sonaiya

The theme of leadership has become a fad; everybody is talking about it. No doubt, the world needs better, more capable leaders at this time. The challenging reality brought upon the world by COVID-19 has demonstrated how so critical good leadership is. For me, two points are very important in relation to leadership. First, leadership is for people with character; therefore young people who are interested in leading MUST be of sound character. Nelson Mandela should be an inspiration in this regard. Africa needs more of such leaders. Secondly, leadership is about service. One must be suspicious of an individual going about, saying to himself or herself – and possibly to others: “I want to become a leader.” The desire must be to offer oneself in service; leadership will invariably follow.
