    Crisis reveals the quality of your preparation (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A crisis does not create an organisation’s character. It reveals it. In tranquil times, almost any institution can appear competently governed. Meetings are convened, policies approved, reports circulated, and targets reviewed. Order becomes easy to mistake for resilience. Then a cyberattack cripples operations, a regulator intervenes, a supplier collapses, an industrial accident occurs, or public confidence suddenly disappears. The reassuring architecture of routine gives way to more elemental

    Beyond the ribbon: Questions 2027 campaign must answer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Nigeria’s 2027 campaign is acquiring its familiar shape. Billboards will multiply. Governors and ministers will present flyovers, airports, and freshly paved roads as proof that government has worked. In the political marketplace, concrete photographs sell well: they give achievement a shape, a price tag, and a ribbon to cut. Yet visibility is not the same as value. A flyover is easy to display; a child who can read is harder to put on a billboard. A grand hospital can be unveiled, while a lifes

    When leaders choose accountability over ego (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Leadership is often associated with strength—the confidence to make difficult decisions, the courage to stand alone and the certainty to give direction when others hesitate. Yet some of the clearest evidence of leadership appears not when a leader is proved right, but when the leader discovers he or she was wrong. Two of the hardest words for anyone in authority to say are also among the most powerful: “I’m sorry.” The difficulty is understandable. Leadership carries visibility, expectations and

    Looking beyond cash to motivate employees (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There is an uncomfortable truth at the heart of every conversation about employee motivation in Nigeria: money matters. In an economy where food, transport, electricity, rent, and school fees consume an ever-larger share of household income, it would be unrealistic—perhaps even insensitive—to argue otherwise. An employee whose salary cannot meet basic obligations will inevitably carry financial anxiety into the workplace. Fair and responsive compensation must therefore remain the foundation of a

    Leadership lessons from Nigeria’s oil and gas sector (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The room was filled with professionals who understood pressure. They had spent years navigating volatile markets, regulatory uncertainty, ageing infrastructure, community tensions and the relentless demand to deliver results. Yet beneath the language of production, costs and compliance lay a deeper question: how can leaders succeed today without weakening tomorrow? Few industries expose this tension as sharply as oil and gas. Leaders must meet production targets, satisfy investors, control costs
