What can we learn from African leadership? What have African's discovered about African leadership? In this webinar, the editors of this ground-breaking book — African Leadership: Powerful Paradigms For The 21st Century — will discuss the book's back story, themes, and structure. Authors of the chapter Redefining Leadership through Grassroots and Political Leadership: A Story of Three Movements will share lessons, and poet Greg Frankson will read several of the poems interspersed throughout the book.

Attend this webinar to explore how African worldviews inform leadership and followership to broaden the field beyond Western notions. You'll learn: 

  • Why African Leadership matters.
  • The key themes emerging in African Leadership discourse.
  • A brief case study illustrating African Leadership theory and practice as shared by three African grassroots leaders.
  • The power of artistic expression through poetry to summarize and emphasize leadership theory.
