ABSTRACT Given the calls for theories and models of leadership unique to Africa, I leverage insight from African historical, anthropological, and philosophical accounts to propose one type of indigenous leadership: companionate leadership. It is based on ancient (Kemetic scribes of the Nile Valley) and modern (bards or griots of the Niger Valley) African traditional principles of shemsw which entailed maât and sebait. The model proposes companionate states (constitution, attention, and co-relation) and behavioral processes (communication, engagement, and cooperation) that through complex processes affect organized action, shemsw, to yield group and individual outcomes. Implications of the model for theory and practice of leadership in African organizations especially but also around the world are discussed.

相伴的领导：神父的观点

摘要鉴于对非洲独特的领导理论和模式的呼吁，我利用非洲历史，人类学和哲学方面的见解提出了一种土著领导：同伴领导。它基于古老的（尼罗河谷的风俗抄写员）和现代的（尼日尔河谷的吟游诗人或古怪人）非洲传统的“闪闪发光”原理，其中包括麦芽和酒渣。该模型提出了伴随状态（宪法，注意力和相互关系）和行为过程（沟通，参与和合作），这些过程通过复杂的过程影响组织的行动，沉思，产生小组和个人成果。讨论了该模型对非洲组织尤其是世界范围内的领导力理论和实践的启示。
