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.

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.

This book considers the new business environment of modern-day Africa, addressing how management styles must adapt to societal changes across the continent. As investment in the continent grows and African businesses begin to look beyond their own borders, there comes a real need to understand leadership from an Afro-centric perspective. This book explores the similarities and differences across African countries, compares them with other regions, and identifies particular cultural realities that managers must consider in order to be successful in the new business environment of modern Africa. Building on their Leadership Effectiveness in Africa and the African Diaspora (LEAD) research project, the authors provide an empirical understanding of African leadership styles and how businesses can harness these more effectively. Drawing on the African Diaspora’s values, beliefs, and preferences, as well as anecdotal material from African academics and managers, this book grants a realistic view of leadership in various African countries including Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and South Africa. It will be invaluable to academics, students, and anyone interested in African and global business leadership from a non-Western perspective.
