Abstract:
This paper was presented at the International Business Conference sponsored by the Center of Excellence
in International Business of Northern State University, Aberdeen, South Dakota, USA. This paper
explores the African philosophy of Ubuntu and its collective potential to be applied to American
leadership theory and practice. Included is a brief discussion on culture’s impact on leadership, a
discussion on the preferred American leadership style based on the GLOBE studies, a discussion of
Ubuntu philosophy, and the respective gaps in the “American way” of leadership. This paper explores
possible solutions to heroic (and often disastrous) American leadership and decision making.
