A powerful story about the African philosophy of teamwork and
collaboration that has the power to reshape our workplaces, our
relationships with our coworkers, and our personal lives, written
by the bestselling coauthor of Fish! and the bestselling author of
1001 Ways to Reward Employees.
John Peterson, a new manager in the credit department at a major
big-box retailer, is struggling in his job. The people under him
are not working as well or effectively as they need to, and his
department is falling behind in meeting its goals. His only
solution is to take on more work himself, burning the midnight oil
and coming in most weekends to pick up the slack and keep his
department above water.
When one of the employees stays behind to help him—a young man
who came to America from a small village in Africa—he learns of the
ancient wisdom and hidden power of the African philosophy of
Ubuntu. Before long, it begins to change the way he thinks about
the people he works with, about himself, and about how he runs his
department and his life.
In an engaging and completely fresh narrative that holds a unique
message for today’s business world, Ubuntu! shows us a way to
overcome our fears, insecurities, and the “me-ism” that so often
permeates our workplaces, and replace it with a culture of genuine
respect and collaboration. It promises to take its place alongside
Fish! and other business parables as the next bestselling classic
in the business category.
