The Humanized Leader

In The Humanized Leader, renowned business leader, executive coach, and governance advisor Dr. Martin Oduor-Otieno, CBS, delivers a bold people-first leadership manifesto that fuses African wisdom with proven corporate strategy. He shows that real leadership is not about titles or power, but about uplifting people: building trust, empathy, and shared purpose. Drawing on Ubuntu, the African ethos of “I am because we are,” this book shows how servant leadership and human-centered values create stronger, more resilient institutions.
