Rethinking Leadership in Afria: Reflect... A source page for quotes linked to George K'Opiyo. 0 quotes
“When groups experience learned helplessness, the dynamics closely resemble those seen in individuals. Prolonged exposure to external forces—like systemic policies or enduring patterns of exploitation—can lead the group to internalize a belief that it has little to no control over its circumstances. With repeated failures to bring about meaningful change, collective confidence begins to fade. Over time, this belief in powerlessness results in disengagement, as the community stops participating actively or fighting to alter its conditions. Instead, they find themselves waiting for external solutions rather than taking charge of creating their own.” LeadershipAfricaLearned Helplessness Book:Rethinking Leadership in Afria: Reflections on Dependency and Learned Helplessness Source: Rethinking Leadership in Afria: Reflections on Dependency and Learned Helplessness
