How can African leadership transform global perspectives? Join Claudia Day and her guests, Gamu Matarira and Nicola Strong, co-founders of African Leadership Global (ALG), a data and training company that takes a fresh perspective on the diversity of intelligence to include the Global South. In this episode, they dive into the intersection of African philosophies and global leadership, sharing their research on the ‘Stories of African Leadership.’ Exploring themes of Ubuntu, community-driven leadership and cultural frameworks, Gamu and Nicola critically assess how African values differ from Western-dominant models.

 

They discuss real-world stories and the duality faced by the African diaspora. Coaches and leaders will gain insights into adapting tools ethically and fostering dialogue across cultures as well as being invited to participate by joining their LinkedIn group. Learn how African traditions such as reconciliation, connectedness and co-creation shape leadership today and inspire a future of inclusivity and innovation.

 

You will learn:

·       The ALG's research results

·       How valid Western models and tools are when coaching African clients

·       What can coaches learn from the philosophies from Africa

 

 

“What we're saying is coaching is a Western terminology, but the practice of it has probably been going on in African communities anyway. The practice of it has been going on since the African child was a child and growing up into adulthood.”
