Reviews
A seminal, practical contribution to leadership as a discipline. Emmanuel Ngara builds a holistic bridge between state-of-the-art leadership practice, enhanced by the ancient wisdom from the cradle of humankind, Sub-Sahara Africa. His focus on educational leadership is arguably the point of greatest leverage for national development. A must read for aspiring leadership, educators and policy-makers. * Louis van der Merwe PhD (Development and Management), Managing Partner, Centre for Innovative Leadership, South Africa * Ngara's publication should be required reading on leadership, not just in education, but in every profession. A monumental, mosaic-tapestry of global educational theoretical frameworks, philosophies and paradigms, it makes a compelling case for transformational learning and leadership, highlighting Utu/Ubuntu. Dialogical and illustrative, the book captures the reader's attention from start to finish. * Micere Githae Mugo, Emerita Meredith Professor for Teaching Excellence, Syracuse University, USA * In this highly accessible and scholarly book [Ngara] brings his rich understanding of education and leadership to a wider international readership. He provides the reader with valuable insights into the Ubuntu approach to leadership - an approach which has important implications for all those with leadership roles not only in education but across professions. * Comparative Education *
