In a world crowded with leadership books of all varieties, The Versatile Leader by Msuega Tese stands out. With an authentic and engaging voice, Tese’s perspective on leadership unfolds in three successive parts, each serving as a building block for the next. Each leadership concept is a treasure supported by practical examples from his rural upbringing, his Christian faith, and his professional work as an engineer and an entrepreneur. As a result, he distills his experience of more than five decades into easily accessible and digestible archetypes.
He uses familiar occupations as metaphors to articulate appropriate leadership responses required by the situation.
Who is a versatile leader? What sets them apart from the rest of the world? How do great leaders create valued outcomes and lead their organizations toward unparalleled success?

By including powerful references to Bible verses, stories, and principles, author Msuega Tese urges leaders to analyze where they have gone wrong and identify important lessons they learn.
Msuega Tese is a co-founder and Executive Director of Integrated Solutions Angola Lda (ISA). Under Tese’s leadership, ISA has become the brand leading enterprise customers in Angola turn to for high-end professional IT services. While Tese owes his expertise to his education and decades of experience, his journey to leadership began at a very young age.
Born in a rural community in central Nigeria, Tese endeavored to absorb the wisdom of his village elders. He would follow his father’s advice: “listen while you play.” While they played quietly nearby, his father insisted that the children listened as the adults debated important community affairs. Though it was no simple task to decipher the parables in which these elders often spoke, being vigilant has become Tese’s way of life.
Beyond ISA, Tese has business interests in Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, and the United Arab Emirates. He participated the Owner/President Management program at Harvard Business School. Together with his wife, Mhide, Tese has raised five children. Tese works and lives in Luanda Province, Angola.
