The leadership gap behind Africa’s implementation challenge - African Business Innovation | Sustainable Development & Social Responsibility The Transformative African Leadership programme aims to strengthen African-led leadership models focused on policy ex*****on, governance reform, AfCFTA integration and institutional delivery.

Good leaders build teams. Great leaders build institutions.

The most enduring leaders don't just deliver results. They create the conditions for results to continue. They build systems that outlast them, cultures that carry their values forward and organisations strong enough to perform long after they have moved on.

At TAL, we explore what it takes to lead with that kind of long-term impact.

Leadership Behind TAL

This week, we introduce Dr Nouzha Chekrouni, Academic Director of Leadership Programmes at UM6P - Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Senior Fellow at the Policy Centre for the New South and Senior Fellow in Advanced Leadership at Harvard University.

From academia and diplomacy to public service, Dr Chekrouni has spent her career working at the intersection of leadership, governance and international cooperation. Her experience offers valuable insight into how institutions can develop leaders capable of creating meaningful and lasting change.

Your next leadership challenge won't come from within your own department.

It will emerge across teams, sectors, institutions and borders. The leaders Africa needs are those who can rise to meet complexity wherever it appears.

Are you ready to lead at that level?

Strong leaders do not become calmer because pressure disappears.

They become calmer because they learn how to think clearly while pressure increases, priorities compete, and certainty becomes limited.

That is the level of leadership TAL was designed for.

Applications for the 2026 cohort are open.
