At the Centre of Action: A First Minister's Practical Guide

'In the Thick of Action: A Practical Guide for a Visionary Prime Minister in Africa' is a comprehensive and essential resource for African leaders committed to transforming their political ambitions into concrete and impactful actions. Written by Professor Yassa Yoniene Pierre, an expert in leadership and governance, this book explores the fundamental dimensions of visionary leadership, public management and strategic decision-making, while providing practical solutions adapted to African realities. The book is structured in four parts: socio-economic development, national security, ethics and communication, and collective mobilisation. It addresses a range of critical issues, including the modernisation of essential infrastructure, the promotion of technological innovation, proactive crisis management, the consolidation of lasting peace, and the technical drafting of legislative proposals and international treaties. Each chapter is based on concrete case studies, inspiring examples from the continent and elsewhere, as well as pragmatic recommendations.
