KOLADE’S CANONS 2

About the Book

The Book The Kolade’s Canons are published in three volumes containing what might best be described as Christopher Kolade’s ecclesiastical declarations over the last 40 years. The volumes contain first-class materials, based on highly cherished African values with foundations in universal principles, from a first-class mind. This volume, Kolade’s Canons 2, focuses on Business and Economy, Nation Building and Ethics. Without sound ethics builders of lives, organisations or nations build on a false foundation. The first volume, Kolade’s Canons 1, focuses on People, Leadership and Management. In it he directs readers to enduring leadership principles which, if put into practice can lead to the transformation of individuals, enterprises and nations. The third volume, Kolade’s Canons 3, is devoted entirely to Broadcasting, Christopher Kolade’s second career start up. The volumes are not textbooks but a collection of a refined gentleman’s speeches and teachings. They provide teachers, students, policy makers and policy executors deep insights to think and talk about, as well as test in the arena of practice. The earliest papers date back 40 years, yet they remain relevant because they are principles-based; and because Dr Kolade was also thinking for future generations.

About the Author

The Author Teacher, broadcaster, corporate executive, diplomat, university administrator and preacher, Dr. Christopher Kolade has spent his life consistently applying the right principles, in private and in public. Few Nigerians have matched his accomplishments in the history of Nigerian public service and private sector. And the people who have experienced Kolade in the boardroom, the classroom, or anywhere in the crossroads of life – usually do not quickly forget him or the experience. Generally, people like to talk and preach about integrity, but integrity is not something merely to be babbled about; it is something one does. Of those who know him, few would disagree that this gentleman comes closest to embodying the best of the ideals to which many aspire. There is a depth to his life that generations draw from, and over the years, Dr. Kolade has been selfless to allow many to drink from his deep knowledge fountain. He is in high demand by organisations in the public and private sectors to give a keynote address, lecture or just a few remarks. The Editor Richard O. Ikiebe is Senior Fellow and Director, Centre for Leadership in Journalism, School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos. Nigeria.
