Question

Answer 1

Explanation: Fred Swaniker portrays the relationship between leadership and institutions as a close and friendly connection, in which through the implementation of university networks such as the African Leadership Academy whose president and founder is, is forged the future of Africa, through the educational formation of entrepreneurial leaders that positively transform and impact socially.

Answer 2

Here's what Swaniker says about this relationship: ''When societies have strong institutions, the difference that one good leader can make is limited, but when you have weak institutions, then just one good leader can make or break that country.'' Since he believes that Africa has extremely weak institutions, starting from the judiciary system and constitutions to many more others. He believes that, with the right leader, Africa can undergo serious positive changes. At the same time, a corrupted or incompetent leader can do so much harm, since there are no properly functioning institutions to stop him.
