Patrick Awuah left a comfortable life in Seattle to return to Ghana
     and co-found, against the odds, a liberal arts college. Why? Because
     he believes that Ghana's failures in leadership — and he gives several
     mind-boggling examples — stem from a university system that fails to
     train real leaders. In a talk that brought the TEDGlobal audience
     enthusiastically to their feet, he explains how a true liberal arts
     education — steeped in critical thinking, idealism, and public service
     — can produce the quick-thinking, ethical leaders needed to move his
     country forward.
