This document summarizes discussions at an invitational workshop on leadership for development in Nigeria. The following views on the essence of leadership were expressed: (1) the majority of current leaders tend to be selfish, self-centered, and incapable of performing their jobs effectively; (2) most current leaders have impeded the growth of democracy, which, in turn, has impeded development; (3) society's perceptions and expectations of leadership have influenced the current leaders; (4) those leaders who have been appointed to or have inherited their positions appear to lack motivation to be achievers; (5) the performance of national leaders appears to have impeded development; (6) certain leadership qualities need to be nurtured, including toleration of criticism by the press and religious tolerance; (7) national leaders should read the biographies of great leaders of other lands and nations for inspiration; and (8) lack of political challenges and flattery by the press appear to have contributed to the development of insensitivity and arrogance among present leaders. Sustainable development must be based on the following components: (1) knowledge and understanding; (2) quantitative and qualitative information; (3) technological creativity; and (4) organization and skills. The process of development, and particularly local development, must incorporate the democratic spirit in order to be effective. A list of participants and a description of the Africa Leadership Forum are appended. (FMW)
