  What does it take to be an effective leader in today's business world?
  Mike Teke, the CEO of Seriti and well-known entrepreneur, has more experience than most as a leader. His opinion is heeded and followed by many.
  In The Future of Leadership is Collegiality Mike shares some of his insights on leadership and the approaches that have made him successful. Indeed, it is a book that belongs on the desks of every existing and aspiring entrepreneur, CEO and manager.
  Mike believes that 'young leaders emulate and mimic experienced leaders – whether the habits they are copying are right or not so right. This happens because young leaders search for ways and means to be recognised, advance in their careers, or be seen as impressive leaders.'
  He discusses concepts such as collegiality, fraternisation, ingratiation and self-respect, and illustrates his ideas with examples of South African and world leaders. On his own journey towards becoming a powerful leader, it was inculcated in him that one had to be 'tough and ruthless' in their approach to leading. However, times have moved on and the game has changed!
  To be effective and deliver consistently in business, Mike has realised that collegiality is the way of the future. 'There is no need to scream at others, bang tables or use foul language!' He believes that collegiality works everywhere – as long as one is willing to lead effectively.

  Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most pivotal forces shaping the global economy today—demographic change. This insightful and timely book delves into the concept of the demographic dividend, a period of accelerated economic growth driven by shifts in population structure, particularly when the working-age population outnumbers dependents. Through a blend of theory, real-world case studies, and policy analysis, the book reveals how nations can harness their demographic potential to spur sustainable economic development. 
  Drawing on historical examples and contemporary trends, the book uncovers how demographic transitions—such as the shift from youthful to aging populations—can either be a boon or a burden for economies. It explores key drivers of economic success, such as human capital investment, healthcare improvements, and job creation, while also addressing the challenges posed by aging populations, dependency ratios, and unemployment. 
  This book also explores the regional perspectives of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, highlighting diverse strategies for leveraging demographic changes in different contexts. It emphasizes the role of education, healthcare, and economic policies in unlocking the full potential of a growing or transitioning population. With a forward-thinking approach, it concludes with actionable insights and a call to action for policymakers, economists, and citizens to turn demographic challenges into lasting economic opportunities. 
  Whether you are a policymaker, economist, academic, or simply an engaged citizen, Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold provides the essential tools and knowledge to understand and navigate the complexities of demographic transitions and their transformative impact on economic development.

  Africonomics - A History of...

  A bold, concise history of Western economic interventions in Africa, by the former director of the Centre of African Studies at the University of Cambridge 
   
  For centuries, Westerners have tried to "fix" African economies. From the abolition of slavery onward, missionaries, philanthropists, development economists, and NGOs have arrived on the continent, full of good intentions and bad ideas. Their experiments have invariably gone awry. 
   
  Historian Bronwen Everill argues that these interventions fail, and frequently cause harm, because they start from a misguided premise: that African economies just need to be more like the West. Ignoring Africa's own traditions of economic thought, Americans and Europeans assumed a set of universal economic laws that they thought could be applied anywhere. They enforced specifically Western ideas about growth, wealth, debt, unemployment, inflation, women's work, and more, and used Western metrics to find African countries wanting. 
   
  The West does not know better than African nations how an economy should be run. By laying bare the myths and realities of our tangled economic history, Africonomics moves from Western ignorance to African knowledge.

  The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. 
   
  AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples. 
    
  Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced. 
    
  The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal. 
    
  Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.
