Abstract
This book is the first of its kind to bring together non-western, indigenous and eastern perspectives on leadership. Leadership theory has for too long been the exclusive domain of western academics dominant Western academy, but that this wisdom is rarely profiled or published. We believe that this must change. Worldly leadership calls for a pooling of the combined leadership wisdoms from all parts of the globe – whether these are contemporary or ancient wisdoms. We fear that as the world becomes increasingly homogenous as a result of the ‘flattening’ impact of the internet and advancing global communication technology, the existing dominant voices may drive out the leadership wisdoms of minority, indigenous and ancient wisdoms.
