Book Synopsis Leading an African Renaissance by : Kathleen Patterson
Download or read book Leading an African Renaissance written by Kathleen Patterson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the challenges and possibilities facing leadership in Africa today by providing a rich history of the continent, the complexities the continent has experienced, and the great hope and encouragement that remains. It explores what African leadership is and the possible effects it has on leaders, followers, and organizations across the continent. While some maintain that leadership of and within Africa presents too many challenges, this book argues that Africa is ripe with potential and on the verge of an African Renaissance. This book looks beyond socioeconomic factors to explore different perspectives of leadership such as holistic, transformational, and servant leadership, as well as values and ethics. Taking a philosophical and pragmatic approach, this edited collection provides insight from African-born leadership scholars to deliver a first-hand account of the challenges the continent faces. Their unique experiences and immersion in the African world pave the way for a revival of leadership through a lens of history, tradition, economics, societal, and leadership perspectives.

Book Synopsis The Leadership Myth: Why Leadership Principles Do Not Work in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Toye Sobande
Download or read book The Leadership Myth: Why Leadership Principles Do Not Work in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Toye Sobande and published by Toye Sobande. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa is a continent rich in human and material resources yet perceived to be bereft of leaders imbued with requisite leadership skills to harness these resources for her growth and development. There are plausible reasons why universally acclaimed leadership principles do not work in Sub-Saharan Africa. This book posits that these leadership principles were Eurocentric principles forced down the throat of Africans by their heavy-handed and exploitative colonial masters who cared less about the sociology and anthropology of the peoples of Africa, and their governance structures, which hitherto worked for them in their different locales and settlements. It argues that pre-colonial Africa was not utterly primitive, lacking leaders nor bereft of leadership principles as painted by the European colonialists who were everything but altruistic in their dealings with the peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa. To buttress this point, it paints a rich canvass of several defunct kingdoms across Sub-Saharan Africa whose leaders exhibited excellent leadership skills and organisational prowess that ensured order and stability in and within their domains. Painfully, the fall or decimation of these kingdoms cannot be delinked from the partitioning of Africa by the Europeans at the Berlin Conference. Indeed, the fall of Africa began at the Berlin Conference. To solve Africa's leadership challenge, today's leaders of Africa must study the pre-colonial leaders of Africa and the leadership skills they exhibited, which engendered cohesion, order, peace, and development in their domains, and by so doing adopt those leadership principles that are centred on the norms, mores, cultures, and traditions of African peoples, known as "Afrocentrism." The book goes further to list out the benefits derivable from adopting the concept of Afrocentrism if Africa wants to regain its lost glory while stressing that Eurocentric leadership will never work in Africa because Afrocentric leadership principles are tightly hinged on the ubuntu or 'omoluwabi' principle, which places a huge emphasis on communalism, collectivity, and unity of purpose, as well as on empathy for others unlike the Eurocentric leadership principle, which is straitjacketed, individualistic and devoid of empathy. Africa is not as bereft of quality leaders as painted by European colonialists and neocolonialists; the book extolls the leadership, managerial and organisational skills of notable and globally acclaimed leaders such as South Africa's, Nelson Mandela, Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Akinwunmi Adesina also of Nigeria, and a host of other Africans who has shown that Africa does not lack the people, but even in this 21st Century; parades men and women who have and still holds their own on the world stage across professions and human endeavours. This book is a must-read for academics/scholars, students, politicians, administrators, and if you are not any of those, you are still asked to get a copy. It will open your minds and eyes to Africa's great potential if she finds solutions to her leadership challenge.

Download or read book Globalisation and Leadership in Africa written by Okechukwu Ethelbert Amah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on both pre-colonial and post-colonial eras, this book aims to cultivate a greater understanding of globalisation processes in the context of leadership behaviour in Africa. Analysing empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, the author evaluates the role of leaders in the failure of African globalisation and seeks to propose an initiative for change. As emphasis shifts from world control to regional and sub-regional control, the new face of globalisation offers an opportunity for Africa to grow and develop with a new leadership perspective. Presenting servant leadership as a solution to Africa’s global failures, this timely book explores the challenges of governance, resource management and regionalisation, and will be of value to anyone interested in the development of Africa as a continent.

Book Synopsis Breaking the Challenges by : Matthieu W Yangambi
Download or read book Breaking the Challenges written by Matthieu W Yangambi and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awareness of the community culture is necessary for a successful leadership. No leader can successfully lead a community ignoring its culture. Knowledge of the culture helps shape the strategies that would convince people to buy-in and reduce resistance and weaken opposition attitudes. A leader must govern with moral purpose on all his/her actions or initiatives. He/she cannot tolerate social vices such as stealing the community's money, embezzling money from the people's business, behaving as political gangsters, displaying indifferent attitudes in face of calamities, and ignoring people's misery. A good leader is someone who strives to work for the betterment of his community. He/she is someone who helps everyone to succeed. He/she is the guarantor of the people's security and hope for the better. Any political leader, any organizational leader who neglects the importance of the culture would cause chaos that would lead the country or the organization to its demise, sadly. The relentlessness to quick enrichment from embezzling the country natural resources, squandering its assets through stingy abominable deals depriving the country from its economic and financial means is clearly the curse to the country development. Again, a leader must live with a moral purpose. He must be the embodiment of a decent model of live to the people he is in charge of or the organization he oversees. His first and utmost responsibility should be the welfare of the people and not his own quick enrichment. Some African leaders should consider going back to the traditional African model of leadership, adapting it to the world's everchanging events and realities. This book is to remind African leaders the meaning of leadership.
