SynopsisPresenting global issues from a fresh perspective, this unique business guide combines ideas and knowledge from first- and third-world countries to enhance growth, creativity, and innovation in local organizations. Taking lessons from wildlife, distinctly African-based leadership techniques are recast into practical ideas that any organization can implement effectively. Through a humorous description of a conference of animals, basic lessons learned from the wild are addressed., Tony Frost's uniquely African leadership book takes the lessons learned from our abundant and diverse wildlife, and recasts them into practical ideas for implementation by anyone in any organisation. Through his humorous description of a conference of animals, Tony paints a picture of what can be if we take the simple issues, the basic lessons we have learned from the wild, and make them work positively in our favour. After the Rain enables the reader to see global issues through very African eyes. This sharing of lessons allows a fusion of ideas and a sharing of knowledge between Africa and the First World which could only enhance growth, creativity and innovation in local organisations. Tony Frost's contribution to HR management has earned him the highest respect in this field. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Personnel Management, for whom he also served as president for two years, and was a Member of the Advisory Board of the Global Forum of SHRM. He served five years as CEO of WWF, the conservation organisation, and sits on the board of the South African National Biodiversity Institute, which is changed with conserving the biodiversity in South Africa. He is the CEO of Sirocco Strategy Management. Book jacket.
