Defiant, fearless, and unwavering in the face of colonial aggression, King Gbehanzin—the Lion of Dahomey—stood as one of Africa’s fiercest symbols of resistance. As the last independent ruler of the Kingdom of Dahomey (modern-day Benin), Gbehanzin led his people with courage, strategic brilliance, and an unyielding commitment to sovereignty as France waged war to seize control.

Leadership Lessons from the Life of the Lion of Dahomey brings Gbehanzin’s remarkable story to life, uncovering the character, values, and tactical decisions that defined his reign.

  • Lead with moral authority in the face of overwhelming odds

  • Mobilize resistance through cultural pride and unity

  • Stand firm for sovereignty, even when isolated

  • Balance diplomacy and defiance

  • Sacrifice for a cause greater than oneself

Gbehanzin’s legacy is not just about resistance—it’s about what it means to lead with heart, honor, and purpose.
