Abstract | Clearly one issue of great importance to those who seek to help other countries develop their administrative and organizational systems is the match between western conceptions of leadership and local culture. How is leadership understood by other cultures? Are there places where western cultural values naturally conflict with the requirements of local culture? How can local cultural expectations of leadership be accomodated by imported theories? What aspects of leadership transcend cultural boundaries? These important questions can only be answered by cross-cultural comparisons. The remainder of this paper reports on an exploration of how leadership is understood from the varied perspectives of members of six different Native American tribes.While Native Americans abide within the embrace of the larger American culture, many tribes retain a tribal culture that is quite separate from the majority one. Thus, Native American understandings of leadership provide one useful contrast to usual American conceptions of leadership.(DIPF/orig.) |
