Leadership in the African Context
E VAN ZYL (EDITOR)
Most of the research into what constitutes effective leadership emanates from the United States and is not very useful in an African context. Africa is a continent of extraordinary cultural, geographic, economic and political diversity, featuring largely emerging economies and rapid political, economic and social development.
This book seeks to set leadership theory in the African context. It recognises that strong leadership among African leaders should take into account typical African circumstances, values and beliefs.
