Abstract
The purpose of the study was to document the stories of African women NGO leaders within the context of the women’s transition from colonization to independence and to investigate and authentically capture the leadership experiences in context. This chapter outlines the self-narratives of participants on the influence of Ubuntu in shaping their leadership. The conceptual framework of the study has three interconnecting elements: servant leadership, motherhood, and Ubuntu. Servant leadership and motherhood have already been discussed in previous chapters, with echoes of Ubuntu discerned in the quotes used to illustrate the themes.
