Purpose

Countries in Africa have undergone an unprecedented transformation that has shaped the continent as they move ahead from the clutches of colonialism. The evolution of leadership and how organisations function optimally has given rise to the review of leadership approaches and practices, revolutionising its position in the global markets. With the recent spate of global suffering from the pandemic, the formal and traditional work structures are becoming transient. At the same time, the economic consequences of the Russo-Ukrainian crisis have catastrophic effects globally.

Design/methodology/approach

The research was conducted via a systematic review of scientific sources from various academic websites. Eligibility criteria were defined with the agreement of pertinent themes and concepts.

Findings

By evaluating and analysing characteristics and success indicators from the blend of leadership competencies ascertained from Afrocentric principles in response to African associated problems, Africa can cement its leadership concepts without following the global north principles. These philosophies are resilient enough to contend with a range of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) complexities, including the impact of the recent global pandemic of immeasurable proportions and the prospect of war as the Russo-Ukrainian conflict intensifies.

Originality/value

Within the African environment, there is a greater focus on the human element in shared values, holistic well-being, cooperation and experience. The global community band together to deal with these complexities. This is a typical example of global connectedness with positive and negative connotations.

引领非洲之路！

目的

非洲国家经历了前所未有的变革，在摆脱殖民主义魔掌的过程中塑造了非洲大陆。领导力的演变以及组织如何以最佳方式运作，引发了对领导力方法和实践的审查，彻底改变了其在全球市场中的地位。随着最近全球大流行病的接连不断，正式和传统的工作结构正在变得短暂。与此同时，俄乌危机的经济后果在全球范围内产生了灾难性影响。

设计/方法/途径

该研究是通过对来自各种学术网站的科学资源进行系统审查而进行的。资格标准是在相关主题和概念达成一致的情况下定义的。

发现

通过评估和分析以非洲为中心的原则为应对非洲相关问题而确定的领导能力的特征和成功指标，非洲可以在不遵循全球北方原则的情况下巩固其领导理念。这些哲学具有足够的弹性，可以应对一系列 VUCA（波动性、不确定性、复杂性和模糊性）的复杂性，包括最近不可估量的全球流行病的影响以及随着俄乌冲突加剧而爆发战争的前景。

原创性/价值

在非洲环境中，人们更加关注共同价值观、整体福祉、合作和经验中的人文因素。国际社会团结起来应对这些复杂情况。这是具有积极和消极内涵的全球联系的典型例子。
