| Abstract |
Leading, managing and leveraging the benefits of diversity in Africa is an imperative not just for individual organisational success, but for the survival of the continent. Africa is characterised by an abundance of diversity, both in its workforce and its natural resources, yet it remains one of the poorest continents. This article presents literature on the continent's current leadership, and looks at the challenges hindering Africa from realising her potential in the global space. The article proposes an alternative leadership approach that is responsible, accountable, relevant and ethical (RARE). Originally devised as a business model, but adaptable to the political arena, it can help to leverage the benefits of Africa's diversity and achieve sustainable development on the continent. |
