Over-reliance on oil cause of economic hardship in Nigeria
In this interview with Dr Alim Abubakre, CEO, These Executive Minds, TEXEM, he talks about the need for visionary and focused leadership, especially in an atmosphere of dwindling resources. Specifically, Dr. Abubakre discusses the coming executive programme being packaged by Alliance Manchester Business School and TEXEM, and why business, political and leaders of thought need to participate.
Excerpts:
What are some of the strategic Leadership issues facing Nigeria?
A strategic leadership issue facing Nigerian executives is poor vision, sometimes when leaders have visions those visions are unrealistic. Another is indecision and limited capacity to make good decisions. Sometimes when decisions are made they are usually devoid of fundamentals but informed by sentiments. Also, lack of self-awareness and poor communication skills is a strategic leadership deficit that many Nigerian executives face. Another is poor succession planning and lack of continuity. If strategic leadership issues are addressed, the country has huge potential to add immense value and move beyond jobless growth to inclusive growth that creates real value and provide quality jobs for its citizenry.

Strategic issues leaders of Nigerian organisations should focus on – Carpenter
Clive Carpenter is Vice Chairman, Business Council for Africa, UK. An international banker and company director with track record in management at board level, Carpenter and Prof. Emeritus Andrew Chambers, a former Dean of Cass Business School, are due to deliver. These Minds Executives (TEXEM) lecture entitled, ‘Strategic leadership for results-driven change management in a recession’, at the British Deputy High Commissioner’s residence on May 24 and 25. In this interview, he speaks on TEXEM and its objectives. What can a leader do to achieve business growth in turbulent times? Even in the worst economic climate, some businesses will thrive. Each business must endeavour to carve a niche for itself which gives it some advantage over its competitors and meets the needs of its customers and other stakeholders. Change must be constant to keep one step ahead of the market. Today’s success story may be tomorrow’s disaster if change is not ongoing. A leader must drive the change programme taking into account the views of all stakeholders and ensuring that it is a collaborative effort which has ‘buy in’ at all levels and not simply dictated. Differentiation from competitors is very important – it might come from products, prices, quality of people, etc. but there must be one or more things which differentiate you from the rest
