Book Description
What skills do leaders within organizations have to cultivate to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century? "Leadership Safari: Meet the experts in the African savanna" is a self-reflection and learning journey, a source of inspiration to generate innovation, transformation, and an "ecosystemic" vision within organizations and teams. The book invites managers, change masters, leaders, executive coaches, trainers, and teachers/students from business schools to look at Nature as: - the most innovative Research & Development (R&D) Lab - the "Google" to find the best formulas to solve business dilemmas - a systems thinking blueprint. It will be an imaginary tour into the fascinating world of the African savanna, a natural environment that has contributed to the evolution and differentiation of homo sapiens. Readers will meet some natural mentors, exploring their habitat, biology, survival strategies and behaviours, in an understandable and accessible narrative language. Observing and studying, with the lens of biomimicry, the natural mentors that still populate the African savanna offers an opportunity to analyse the survival forces and skills that help wildlife cope with threats and extreme conditions. Discover the mentor's advice on leadership and business challenges; stimulate brainstorming and lateral thinking through powerful questions (bio-questions), insights, practical exercises, and meditations. Mimicking leadership lessons from the savanna and its magnificent flora and fauna could mark a new evolutionary step of the human being and a transition that favours organisations to cope and thrive during the disruptive and extreme conditions of our times.

African Antelope Database 1998
Author: Rod East
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 9782831704777
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Although most antelope species still exist in large numbers in sub-Saharan Africa (some in hundreds of thousands), up to three-quarters of the species are in decline. Threats to their survival arise from the rapid growth of human and livestock populations, with consequent degradation and destruction of natural habitats, and excessive offtake by meat hunters. In addition, some parts of Africa are mow almost completely devoid of large wild animals because of uncontrolled slaughter during recent civil wars. This report presents the information currently held by the IUCN/SSC Antelope Specialist Group on the conservation status of each antelope species (and selected subspecies) in sub-Saharan Africa. Key areas have been identified for the conservation of representative antelope communities. While external donors make the greatest contributions to the conservation of antelopes, greater recognition of wildlife conservation in national and regional development plans is often a critically important requirement.
