This book, in part, is provoked by the author's desire to find the factors that contribute to the making of effective and functional leaders in the African business, political, religious, and social context.  Dr. William Addai believes leadership in Africa can and will be improved with understanding of African cultural values as formed from the past, present, and future aspirations, and communicated by our everyday metaphors. 

The book introduces an ethno-leadership theory, a model, with a how-to-approach for leading across cultures.  It provides the reader with metaphor-eyes to investigate leadership values underlying national, organizational and community behaviors that are crucial to effective leadership in a given context.
