The Reciprocal Relationship of Culture and Leadership
About the Book
The purpose of the book is to explore and demonstrate how culture and leadership interact with each other contextualising this using South African organisations. This ignites the realisation of how powerful this interaction is. It further seeks to demonstrate how these interactions can impact the effectiveness and efficiency of leadership. This includes discovering the value of being cognizant of how these two artefacts impact each other consciously and subconsciously. This seeks to contribute towards building effective global leaders that are in touch with reality. Demonstrating how their behaviour make the families, organisations, societies, countries and the world better places to live/work or worse places if care is not taken.
The spirit of Love and Ubuntu transcends all generations. It is the foundation of effective leadership.
Culture is like a Perfume. Once the owner is used to their perfume, they cannot smell it, but others continues to smell the perfume. Culture is subtle, it impacts your behaviour consciously and subconsciously!
As a leader you can be
Powerful as a lion and gentle as a lamb
Sharp as an eagle and harmonious as a dove
Deeply rooted in values like a Baobab tree and fruitful like a grapevine
Pleasant and social while being unique like a protea flower
Deep and yet provide recreative and rejuvenating opportunities like the ocean
Keep individuality and privacy yet provide light to others like the sun
Grounded while standing tall like the mountain
Yield towards your Light for continuous renewal, like the sunflower
Creating a culture of continuous personal transformation, innovation and renewal
