In the stillness of the African bush, leadership reveals itself in its most primal form. Here, where the survival of each species depends on discipline, instinct, coordination, and trust, its lessons arise from the most unexpected sources. For Letlhokwa George Mpedi, a journey through South Africa's Kruger National Park transformed from merely a game drive to a masterclass in leadership. Observing the intricate dynamics of animal behaviour, Letlhokwa began to trace compelling parallels between the natural order and human systems of power. Through this lens, this book explores how nature's codes can inform leadership dynamics. Drawing from a distinctly African approach to leadership, which emphasises community and interdependence, From Predator to Prey explores the unwritten rule of law that governs the wild and its applications for humanity. From the silent cooperation of lionesses on a hunt to the matriarchal approach of elephants, and even the territorial instincts of wild dogs, this book offers a vivid and thought-provoking perspective on how nature's instincts can inform our understanding of leadership dynamics. As Letlhokwa tracks and interprets the behaviours and strategies of various species, he challenges conventional ideas of leadership based solely on top-down control. Through this observation, he invites a critical rethinking of conventional leadership paradigms. In place of rigid hierarchies, he presents a model that values the very tenets of ubuntu leadership as he offers a compelling argument for leadership rooted in nature's enduring logic. Letlhokwa George Mpedi is a Professor of Labour and Social Security Law and the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg (UJ).
