The Shepherd Leader

by Isokari Francis Ololo

The Shepherd Leader is a book on new leadership thinking and model. It uses the shepherd metaphor to simplistically show how leadership should be conducted whether in the corporate world, academia, government institutions, churches, social clubs and the like. It highlights leadership masterhood over servanthood and posits that servant leadership should be stepped up to shepherd leadership because, as a matter of order, a servant acts only when he receives directives from the master. In the shepherd personification, both service-mindedness and humility are encompassed. The Shepherd Leader explains that the fundamental tools any kind of leader needs are the rod and staff, and that jointly these tools produce the comfort and surplus required by the followers.
