To effectively deliver sustainable management in practice for Africa, we need responsible leadership. We need to deepen our understanding of sustainability in the unique socio-political and economic context of the continent. The roles of various actors across public, private and non-profit sectors as enablers of sustainable development need to be explored to understand the social, economic and environmental (SEE) trends in Africa and its emerging and developing economies, as well as to chart the way forward for the continent.This first volume focuses on the African understanding of sustainability and its dimensions within its unique historical, social, environmental and political contexts. Through the lens of responsible leadership, the authors reflect on the implementation and extension of the SEE sustainability triad in ways unique to the African continent, especially in relation to the development of well-thought-out, healthy and enduring policy frameworks and the promotion of good governance. The African scope of the book is hinged on collaboration from authors across Africa and the inclusion of case stories from emerging economies in the five African subregions (East, West, North, Central and Southern Africa) within the chapters. The core message is that, to achieve effective and sustainable management and development for Africa, the practice of responsible leadership is critical.

Self-Protective Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness
Exploring a New Organizational Model for African Start-Ups
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 637 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book investigates and explores the impact of a self-protective leadership (SPL) style on the organizational effectiveness of start-up businesses within Africa, focusing on Ghana and Kenya. Self-protective leadership is defined as a leadership style that focuses on ensuring the safety and security of individuals and groups through status-enhancing and face-saving tactics. A typical self-protective leader can make decisions, and is free from political influences, but tends to be selfish, ritualistic, and self-centered. The author’s study, presented in this book, demonstrates a surprisingly high preference for SPL among Confucian Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Sub-Saharan African nations – all of which have a history of colonialism. If this is true, then SPL could be better suited to the business environment in Africa, but particularly amongst start-up enterprises.Examining this phenomenon, and using an explorative analysis of business and culture, the book investigates the extent to which the various dimensions or demonstrations of SPL impact organizational effectiveness in African start-up businesses.A valuable contribution to literature and research on African leadership styles, this is an ideal resource for students and researchers interested in leadership and organizational effectiveness within the African context.
