Leading in the Dark Seasons Nicholas Sibanda

The global crisis of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) took the world by surprise and changed life as we knew it in the first three months of the year 2020. How could such a tiny thing like a virus have such a great impact on the world? How about all the science and technology we have? Couldn't it help us? However, like in times past, the future of our communities, nations and the whole world seems at this moment to hang on those that have the roles and responsibility of leadership. When we are done leading through this crisis, how will the future look like? This book draws valuable leadership lessons from one of Egypt's dark times and how as a leader, Joseph rose up to the task and saved the day. But before his heroic exploits we are drawn into Joseph's life to see what shaped his leadership. The same principles that saved the national economy ruined the citizens because they failed to apply them in their personal lives. The Egyptians effectively condemned themselves to state dependence and ultimately lost their freedom.
