Books by Amadi Osondu

If you are conscious but doubtful of the ubiquitous phraseology used to commend and present graduates of post-secondary education and boldly printed on the diplomas issued to adjudge their success usually proclaiming: "Found worthy in character and learning", then this book will be of immense interest. The disturbing distortion and crisis exhibited in the meaning and sense of Leadership as a subject has mainly provided adequate room for semantic gallantry in the effort to understand why Leadership must be perceived and situated within its proper purview. The culture of fragmentation and individualistic approach to life in what we generally agree to be today's civilized society has further denied learners, teachers and practitioners of leadership the opportunity to steer the general population in the right direction. The future thus seems to appear blurred or rather opaque in the minds of the new generation as to the need to appreciate as well as recognize the growth and continuity of the society with genuine love and compassion. The book features a multi-dimensional exploration of what Leadership means while highlighting why a rethink has become necessary in its definition for the benefit of today's world for both the old and the young. It also offers succinctly a direct display of the foundation and origin of Leadership to the reader thus making it worth his while.
