Abstract

This paper is a synopsis of six things transformative leaders do to ensure a business survives and progressively advances towards its long-term goals amid the volatile, unstable, complex and ambiguous environmental conditions of the 21st century. The author draws this synopsis from previous research reviewing, 1) scholarly published papers, academic literature and empirical studies accessed through online scholarly search engines and knowledge bases, dated 2010 onwards, documenting and offering theoretical, conceptual and philosophical frameworks on the emergence of transformative leadership to help leaders profitably navigate the challenges of a chaotic, crisis ridden world, and 2) analysis of published case study data on African CEOs celebrated for successfully turning around failing businesses and posting outstanding outcomes in depressed local economic conditions. The paper suggests that business survival calls for higher skill sets than simply outsmarting the competition, keeping up with evolving customers or managing the bottom-line. Rather, transformative leaders facilitate irreversible transcendent change to ensure business survival, sustainability and long-term success. While conventional theory suggests that apex leaders should take direct control of business operations, transformative leaders install a vibrant business culture where leadership responsibility is shared with empowered followers. They keep the business abreast of the evolving economic environment by maintaining a profitable, responsive and creative tension between the business readiness to change and the impact of external forces altering the environmental landscape. In this paper the researcher uses classic, contemporary and current leadership theory to anchor its findings.

Indigenous Leadership Research in Africa (ILRA) - It is a Critical Calling !!!

INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP RESEARCH IN AFRICA

Abstract

This paper challenges leaders involved in governance, politics, academia, industry and leadership training to access the Afrocentric leadership advantage to unlock the wisdom and benefits of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) across the continent. The authors conducted a review of recent published literature by African leadership scholars that authenticate indigenous leadership thought in the face of historic, colonial and imperial Eurocentric western theory. The authors re-position indigenous leadership research as a critical center-piece and last-mile strategy to achieve pragmatic national transformation. The authors argue that hegemonic Eurocentric leadership models serve to satisfy global, financial and economic capital gains metrics, but do not always serve the social wellbeing and transformative growth interests of local communities. The paper urges policy makers, leadership program developers and business innovators to access and incorporate the findings of Indigenous Leadership Research in Africa (ILRA) to inspire national development and prosperity over the next 200 years.

This article will change the way you think about "African leadership" and "Leadership in Africa"

In the Matter of the People of Kenya and the Government!

 

In the Matter of the People of Kenya and the Government

In the matter of the people of Kenya and the government, there is no contest. The established definition of a democracy is, “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people” (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). The government is morally bound to EMBRACE the will of the people. There is no such thing as “my government”. It is the “PEOPLES government”. At best, a leader can only claim,” my administration”. Secondly, there is neither a majority nor minority, it is the AGENDA of the people that must prevail. Third, representatives who defraud the PEOPLE of their VOICE by abandoning the people that elected them, from whatever party and for whatever reason, are in breach of INTEGRITY (Ch.6 Laws of Kenya,2010) and are ethically obliged to apologize to the PUBLIC and stand down for falsifying the will of the PEOPLE.
