This book brings together vital leadership insights from so many international perspectives--broadening how we understand leadership in today's complex, multipolar world. It challenges familiar assumptions while offering new frameworks rooted in wisdom, relevance, and respect. Mosaic is a timely and important contribution to the global leadership conversation.--DR. MARSHALL GOLDSMITH, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won't Get You There Intelligent, alive, and full of global texture, Mosaic Leadership challenges the habit of looking West for wisdom. It celebrates leadership as a shared human story, local in detail, universal in truth, and proves that great ideas travel both ways. Essential reading for the next chapter of global leadership.--JON FOSTER-PEDLEY, Dean, and Associate Pro Vice Chancellor, Sub-Saharan Africa, HenleySA and University of Reading. Mosaic Leadership is an essential read, offering diverse leadership models that challenge the traditional, West-centric MBA approach. By embracing global perspectives, particularly China's evolving management philosophy, it emphasizes the value of inclusivity and diversity in leadership education. This book advocates for a richer, more inclusive global dialogue in management thinking.--PROF. NING HAO, Vice Dean of School of Psychology and Cognitive Science, East China Normal University. LEAD THE FUTURE WITH A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Mosaic Leadership: African, Asian, Middle Eastern and Indigenous Perspectives challenges the conventional wisdom of Western-centric leadership frameworks and opens the door to a broader, richer tapestry of global insights. Edited by renowned leadership experts Jonathan Passmore, Badri Bajaj, and Mongezi Makhalima, this groundbreaking volume traces the lineage of leadership thought from ancient epics to modern theories and asks whether our current paradigms are sufficient for the future ahead. Contributions by an international team of scholars and practitioners offer thirty diverse models and ideas rooted in African, Asian, Middle Eastern and Indigenous traditions. From the harmony of Kaizen and the depth of Bushido, to the communal wisdom of Ubuntu and the spiritual insight of Qadr, Mosaic presents powerful tools and fresh perspectives for understanding leadership in context. Throughout the book, reflections on the future of leadership development encourage readers to reimagine how leaders are shaped in a world defined by complexity and cultural pluralism. Mosaic Leadership addresses the decolonisation debate and provides a resource for those looking to diversify their reading with non-Western leadership models. The book is essential reading for business leaders, educators, and changemakers looking to thrive in today's global landscape. It is equally valuable for students, non-profit leaders, and public servants seeking to lead with greater cultural intelligence.
