Understanding Organizational Leadership through Ubuntu offers a
creative, innovative and holistic approach to understanding
organizational leadership using the principles embodied in the
African philosophy of personhood known as ubuntu - or the essence
of being human. Using African proverbs, folktales and indigenous
concepts, the book discusses the organizational principles of
ubuntu and the leadership lessons that modern organizations can
learn from these principles. The principles include sharing and
collective ownership of opportunities, responsibilities and
challenges, the importance of people and relationships over things,
participatory leadership and decision making, loyalty,
reconciliation, experiential learning and knowledge management By
using humorous ways that touch people's heart to communicate
organizational and personal management and improvement strategies,
the book demystifies organizational language while at the same time
enhancing its power. It also contributes to the much-needed
cross-cultural dialogue among organizations and societies.
