Abstract

To usher change leadership in Africa, this chapter suggests the conversion of Cattell’s syntality into social dynamite with a preliminary step consisting of changing African group syntality into a social and leadership dynamite force, through the de-collectivization and de-traditionalization of the collective mind regarding the top-down single leadership privileges and prerogatives; then, inviting communities to march in unison with such dynamic collective efficacy to usher change leadership or the leadership of change. This requires an adoption of Afrikology, an epistemology that recognizes orality as a valid source of knowledge, a true philosophy of knowledge and wisdom based on African cosmogonies. The vehicle of establishment will implement social exchange theory which denotes an interplay between structure, strategy and environment by moving communities and organizations from overpowering leadership to power-building initiatives, supporting the process with innovation and learning groups to maintain the new syntality and leadership of change.
