Series: Essentials of Business and Management in Africa

This concise overview of the theories and practice of leadership in the African context is the first of its kind. Essentials of Leadership in Africa introduces leadership as an art and science to inspire confidence and support among the people who need to achieve common organisational goals. We present a framework of leadership which emphasises the role of the African context in better understanding leadership effectiveness. According to our model, leadership in Africa can be understood by focusing on the leader’s skills, motives, and behaviours; the leader’s role in developing teamwork and team leadership; and the organisational context. It is important to understand that leadership does not occur in a vacuum. Each chapter includes illustrative real-life examples, experiential exercises, short cases, and/or assessments.

The book appeals to undergraduate and graduate students in Africa and/or other parts of the world who are interested in leadership on the African continent. In addition, managers, trainers, and practitioners can benefit from reading Essentials of Leadership in Africa.
