The book aims to demonstrate that despite the apparent lack of interest by leadership practitioners of an African orientation to document and publish empirical accounts of strategic leadership case study practices emerging from rural Zimbabwe, there is clear evidence that huge volumes of information on the subject of leadership exist. The book is an attempt to document testable leadership experiences that add to the existing body of knowledge on the subject of strategic leadership. The experiences presented are unique enough to motivate readers to want to interrogate the leadership themes flighted in each of the ten chapters of this book. The style of presentation of the study materials suites students pursuing diploma, undergraduate, masters level studies and can also be used as reference materials for doctoral studies
The schism that split the Russian Orthodox Church in 1667 alienated thousands of devout men and women. These traditional worshippers, who came to be known as the Old Believers, practiced their faith as outsiders for more than two centuries. Denied the Russian Orthodox Church's sacraments, they in turn denied that its "new" ways could lead them to salvation. Always at odds with the established Russian Orthodox Church and the tsar, the Old Believers created a vibrant separate culture within the imperial Russian state. Old Believers in Modern Russia shows how Russia's most traditional religious group created a "culture of community" distinct from the dominant culture and society. This culture provided a lens through which the faithful could view, interpret, and interact with their world. Focusing especially on imperial Russia's twilight years, Robson explores how the Old Believers adapted to rapid change in the early twentieth century. Until recently, little has been known about Old Believer faith and culture. Most previous studies have relied upon information provided by outsiders, usually the state or the Russian Orthodox Church. Robson explores Old Believer experience from the inside in this first detailed study of the group in the late imperial period. He integrates historical methods with communication theory and symbolic anthropology to reveal the many facets of Old Believer life.
