Text of Note

Chaleff (2003) inferred that when all factors of success are combined, the principles of stability and prosperity can mutually reinforce one another and ensure continued development. Bjugstad, Thach, Thompson, and Morris (2006) added that a sound and good governance is considered one of the most crucial components of economic development. To produce political stability and enhance economic growth, productivity, and the development of infrastructure, appropriate metrics and reformative leadership must be identified. Authenticity, integrity, and effective management of human and material resources, in addition to a clear and practical vision for Nigeria's future, form the patterns for peace, stability, and coexistence among the geopolitical regions of the nation. The patterns for peace will impact on all stakeholders-internal and external organizations-to promote an interest that would directly influence the progress of state institutions and enhance the socioeconomic situation in Nigeria. By this measure, the state functions and the possibility of development in the short and long term can greatly be improved with the effort of authentic leadership to learn how to effectively manage the affairs of the nation of Nigeria and position it for global competitiveness. The current research study explored and investigated from a leadership perspective the impact of colonization on Africa and the effect of authentic leadership on the political, social, and economic development in the Nigerian context. By the method of open-ended interviews, a phenomenological approach was utilized to capture the understanding of how authentic leadership positively impacted Nigeria in an effort to overcome some of the negative effects of colonization. In-depth interviews were utilized to examine questions relating to leadership trust and morality, the negative effect of colonialism, and leadership accountability. Data were explicated and results showed that corruption and poor management are the root causes of crises, fighting, and killings in Nigeria as well as the lack of social, economic, and political stability. This study will significantly enhance the understanding of scholars, researchers, and authors, as it relates to organizational leadership in the context of Nigeria in this 21st century.
