African cultural heritage, passed on from generation to generation, has been a source of guidance for African communities in times of peace, uncertainty, birth, life, and death. In Understanding Organizational Sustainability through African Proverbs, the power of indigenous wisdom contained in African proverbs is directed at organizational development and change. The result is a fresh new perspective on organizational management, with important lessons for organizational leaders, consultants, volunteers and expatriates working or preparing to work in Africa. Understanding Organizational Sustainability through African Proverbs describes how African proverbs can be used to understand organizational growth and development over time. By rediscovering the power of African proverbs, readers are rewarded with new and creative ways to communicate organizational improvements in a language that touches people's hearts and motivates them to personal and organizational transformation. The book specifically addresses the role of leaders and consultants implementing performance improvement and organizational change initiatives and contains three proverb-driven assessment templates. --
