Binta Sagna explains that communication is only the purpose of a network and mobilization criteria, these mobilization criteria are based on trust in long-standing partners.
She explains to Financial Afrik’s writing her definition of Leadership: “My mother worked for a French millionaire for years and I was able to observe the relationship of human relationships and the relationship that sometimes binds people hypocritically exclusively on the basis of money. For my part, without really having the choice I chose the path of the social elevator, a worker child who became an executive, it was common in the France of full-employment of the 1960s, now it is a real obstacle course, this lift that allows people from a certain social background to access the upper class is now able to experience breakdowns, but we identify failures, restart to reach each times a higher floor, certainly it is longer but on each floor we have crossed people, these people are the essential base of my network ” “Money has become the only prism in the lives of many people, their only motivation, their only value. I sometimes find myself unsettled in times of emptiness, certainly money is necessary but the “influencers” or “leaders” as we are defined do not primarily seek these things, they seek loyalty, are busy creating a hyper restricted network of trust and ethics, or at least to build a network where we can identify reputations or engage without major risk taking. In my opinion, all human action should not be exclusively judged by a single monolithic identification grid, namely money, it is paradoxical to mention this aspect with Financial Afrik but it is my vision of development as a new leaders of tomorrow for the African continent.
