Abstract
Australian business consultant Ted Scott and his colleague, psychologist Phil Harker have developed a model of ethical leadership in the workplace, involving two basic and contrasting styles of business leadership. Given their location in a wealthy, western-type society, their model, which this paper describes, generates the following question: does the model also have validity for Africans in southern Africa? To answer this question, the paper gives a profile of a widely held, traditional African view of human existence and correlates it with the Scott/Harker model. This leads to the conclusion that the Scott/Harker model is well suited to the challenges facing African business leaders.
