The principle of the Igbo Apprenticeship System is universal. In the Harvard Business Review, I wrote “The Igbo apprenticeship system (IAS) is a communal enterprising framework where successful businesses develop others, and over time provide capital and pass along their customers to the new businesses.” Donald Trump donated $5,000 to Kamala Harris’ California attorney general reelection campaign in September 2011.
But unlike the Igbo Apprenticeship System where the apprentice (sure, pardon the analogy) rarely challenges the boss (sure, pardon the analogy), Harris is possibly going to battle for the US Presidency against Trump in November.
It is politics – no permanent enemy, no permanent friend, but permanent interest. May the best win.
