In a crisis situation, we should start by asking a very basic
question: who are the agents of change?
The solution to any major crisis resides in the empowerment of the right leaders and elites, at the national and
local level. It is not just the movers and shakers. It is about those who have the capacity to turn the situation around, if given a chance. Sometimes they might require some external help to be able to play the role that is potentially theirs.
The opposite, people who only care about their interests and those of their narrow power base, bad leadership is a critical contributing
factor to further destabilisation.
My experience has shown that leadership analysis is indispensable to help us to identify and bring together the political, religious, youth and women leaders as well as the
opinion makers.
In every case, from Mali to the EU, from Pakistan to Portugal.
