The first of three volumes, this book traces the leadership
thoughts and philosophical disposition of Professor Arthur G.O.
Mutambara over a period of 35 years, as his generation sought to
become the transformation it wished to see in Zimbabwe. The trilogy
constitutes a fascinating intellectual and political journey by the
man who would become Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe at the age
of 42. It is a collection of grounded reflections that he expressed
over time, as he endeavoured to move, lead and inspire people,
while turning strategic thinking into reality through the speed of
execution. Mutambara’s ambition has always been to change the world
by igniting citizen activism. It is an epic journey of ideas that
created evolutionary and even revolutionary advancement of
democratic values, institution-building, social justice,
empowerment, shared economic prosperity, people-centred governance
and efficacious statecraft. The intrinsic value and relevance of
the prescriptions proffered are both enduring and timeless. This
volume deals with his formative years and early professional life.
This period constitutes the making of a leader of global stature.
His profound odyssey of thought leadership started at the age of
16, and moved through the University of Zimbabwe (UZ), where he
graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Electrical Engineering. A statement
he wrote as a student leader led to the unprecedented closure of
UZ. He was injured and detained. His journey of ideas then
proceeded to the University of Oxford, where he obtained an MSc in
Computer Engineering and a PhD in Robotics and Mechatronics. The
next stop was the United States, where he was a Research Scientist
at NASA, Professor at MIT and Management Consultant at McKinsey.
The book ends with his return to the continent in 2002, equipped
with Pan-African, business- and technology-driven developmental
strategies and paradigms.
