how the concept of Ubuntu will change how you live, work, and lead

The African philosophy of Ubuntu embraces the belief that we are universally connected to each other. Richards suggests it could transform the way we treat others, making us kinder and more respectful to others, on and off the job. He believes that the illusion that we are more different than similar is eroding our ability to truly live a productive and satisfying life. Discover how this simple concept could change our own behavior-- and the world around us. -- adapted from back cover

Part One: Why we must go together: We can always do better: the death of civility ; One word that will change everything: the invincibility of Ubuntu ; It is always safer to stand up: the uncomfortable truth about saving the world -- Part two: Live together: Fear or love: the only decision that matters ; When your beliefs become irrelevant: the unpleasant reality behind good intentions ; You belong in any room you walk into: the importance of healing yourself first -- Part three: Work together: Becoming the hero: why you must start before you're ready ; The master plan: eight keys to unlocking Ubuntu at work ; Your power is not for sale: dealing with enemies of Ubuntu -- Part four: Lead together: Kindness is not weakness: the heart of the Ubuntu leader ; The power of presence: the Ubuntu leader's secret weapon ; When you feel like you can't continue: the necessity of resilience
