Eighteen years after the genocide that made Rwanda international news, yet left it all but abandoned by the West, the country has achieved a miraculous turnaround. Rising out of the devastation of a failed state, Rwanda has emerged on the world stage yetagain -- this time with a unique model for governance and economic development under the leadership of its strong and decisive president, Paul Kagame. Rwanda, Inc. looks at Kagame's leadership, his drive for excellence and execution that draws comparisons to American CEOs and emphasizes the development of a sophisticated and competitive workforce. Strong and effective leadership has made a measurable and meaningful difference in Rwanda. Its progress offers an example for other developing nations to lift themselves out of poverty without heavy reliance on foreign aid. As so many nations stand on the brink of revolution, this is a timely and fascinating look at the implications of Rwanda's success for the rest of the continent -- and the world.
