Books, Brands & Businesses Podcast #002 - Trigmatic's First Book, The Lion's Aide
In Episode #002 of Books, Brands & Businesses, host Samuel Agyeman-Prempeh sits down with celebrated Ghanaian musician, composer, songwriter and radio presenter Enoch Nana Yaw Oduro-Agyei, popularly known as Trigmatic, as he steps into a new creative chapter — authorship. Trigmatic discusses his first book, The Lion’s Aide, a thought-provoking exploration of leadership from the perspective of the people who stand beside, behind and around strong leaders. While much has been written about how to become a great leader, The Lion’s Aid turns the conversation towards followership. The book explores how people working with strong and influential leaders can understand their leadership styles, adapt effectively, contribute meaningfully to their vision and help them accomplish their goals — without abandoning their own ambitions and personal growth. Drawing on lessons about leadership, relationships, purpose and self-development, Trigmatic explains how being a valuable follower is not about losing your identity in someone else’s vision. Instead, it can be an opportunity to bring out the best in a leader while also bringing out the best in yourself. In this conversation, Samuel Agyeman-Prempeh explores the thinking behind The Lion’s Aid, why Trigmatic decided to write his first book, and the lessons he hopes readers — from employees and entrepreneurs to creatives, executives and emerging leaders — will take from it. From music and radio to writing and leadership, Episode #002 reveals another side of Trigmatic and the ideas behind his evolution from celebrated creative to first-time author.
