Welcome to the MUBS Leadership Centre blog. The Leadership Centre is committed to the development of leaders, best leadership and governance practices in the region and this blog is intended to provide open fora for discussion of topical leadership and governance issues. The blog will be used to report, make critical assessments and invite comments on topical issues of interest to those who have passion for leadership and governance.

The year 2013 ended on a sad note with the death of Nelson Mandela but in every activity there are benefits and challenges that bring along with it a challenge to mankind, a challenge to be fair and equitable in what we do and how we treat mankind. However, the world is short of Mandelas and it is the responsibility of leaders to bring to the table what Mandela’s life meant to the world.

It is our responsibility to preach Mandela's values so that his legacy spreads around the world to create a gentler world, a world of forgiveness and a world where everybody can succeed. We welcome you to make contributions on how to sustain not only Mandela’s legacy but also those of other leaders like Martin Luther King Jr and Mahatma Gandhi who were in his league.
