Beyond Authority
🔸In a world where leadership often equates to power, Servant Leadership stands out as a refreshing alternative.
🔸Imagine a leader who puts the team first, listening with empathy and fostering growth.
🔸This leader empowers others, creating a culture of trust and collaboration. By prioritizing service over authority, they inspire loyalty and ignite passion, transforming workplaces into thriving communities.
🔸In the end, true leadership isn't about being in charge; it's about lifting others up and paving the way for collective success.
🔸However, many scholars agree that there are situations where traditional leadership styles may function more effectively than Servant Leadership.
❓This raises an important question:
Can Servant Leadership coexist with traditional leadership styles, or do they fundamentally contradict each other❔❓

The meeting focused on discussing AFLEX’s Reform, Scaling-up, and Transformation Program as well as exploring future collaboration areas.
During the session, Mr. Zadig Abreha presented AFLEX’s ambitious vision and strategic plans.

The President unveiled AFLEX’s strategy to implement 13 transformative projects over the next three years, documented in a comprehensive 2,500-page program.
One of the flagship initiatives is the "Sululta like Davos" project, which envisions establishing Sululta as an international convention center, similar to the renowned Davos platform.
Additionally, Mr. Zadig outlined AFLEX’s flagship leadership development programs, which include four core leadership initiatives and 38 specialized programs.
The approach, described as a combination of “soft shell” and “hard core” strategies, aims to cultivate a new generation of leaders equipped to tackle Africa’s challenges and seize its opportunities.
The President proposed three key collaboration areas with the Chinese Mission: Human Resource and Infrastructure Development and Exchange Programs.
He concluded by expressing AFLEX’s eagerness to learn from China’s experiences in development and leadership.
Ambassador Hu Changchun commended AFLEX’s transformative vision and President Zadig’s presentation, highlighting Africa as a “land of hope” and a “fast track of development.” He affirmed that Africa is on the right path toward sustainable growth and prosperity.
The Ambassador described AFLEX as a benchmark for continental leadership academies and a symbol of solidarity and progress for Africa.
The Ambassador further emphasized that the China Mission to the African Union is eager to explore additional collaboration areas with AFLEX.
He expressed agreement with all proposed areas of partnership, underscoring the potential for impactful joint efforts in leadership development, infrastructure, and knowledge exchange.
The meeting concluded with Ambassador Hu Changchun and his team visiting the AFLEX facilities, where they expressed their appreciation for the academy’s ongoing activities and aspirations.

Triumph through Unity
✊Ethiopia has a rich history of triumph against adversity, with the Battle of Adwa standing as a powerful symbol of unity.
✊Some may argue that this spirit of unity is a faded legend.
✊However, The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) proves otherwise.
✊Even in recent challenges like the dispute over the Dam, specially with Egypt, Ethiopians have vividly showcased our enduring unity and national pride.
✊Even though some see unity of Ethiopian people as a distant memory, the fact is, from the historic Battle of Adwa to the resilience shown on the GERD, Ethiopia has always triumphed through unity.
✊But leadership always matters!
