Dedication
I primarily dedicate this book to my wife, Meaza Lulseged, who has been by my side with words of encouragement until I wrap up writing this book. Then, to my beloved daughter, Ruth L. Wodajeneh who always challenges me to be true to myself and respect others regardless of their rank in society.
I also dedicate this book to my father, the late Cherinet Gelagel. With him, I reached this level of prominence. He taught me the value of hard work and guided me through my grade schools and social attributes. He was a great man aware of the modern enlightenment, so he inspired my colleagues and me to attend school. He was a compassionate man who cared for life, whether a human or other creations. He was an advocate for the little ones and the voiceless.
By the same token, I dedicate this book to my most loving mother, the late Terunesh Aregahegne. My mother had always been exceptional. She was such a candid, earnest, and kind woman that words might run short of explicating her as is.
Finally, I dedicate this book to my big sister, Woinshet Cherinet, who was always there for me, big or small, particularly in times of need during my high school and college years. Her love for me knew no bounds.
All credit be to them!
Acknowledgments
This book wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Alan Crouch, Capital Terefe, and my dear friend Zeke Ayele. Thanks to all of them for reading the book from start to end and providing constructive comments at the expert level.
I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Daniel Solomon Beyene (Ph.D.), who gave me comprehensive productive comments and remarks. The expediency and pragmatism of his counsel on the Case Studies used in several chapters across the book were very much obliged to bring home the agile mindsets discussed across the book.
I also want to thank Alemtsehay Cherinet Gelagel, Workeye Eshetu Zewudie, and his wife, Azeb Bekele Woldetadak, for their bottomless support in prayer and supplication for the success of this book.
That said, I like to give kudos in advance to all the players I interfaced with on the publisher’s team for the fantastic work they did.
Thank you all for your unfailing support!
