UBUNTU! An Inspiring Story About an African Tradition of Teamwork and Collaboration

The authors use storytelling to illustrate an African philosophy of interacting with people that is similar to the Golden Rule, but with a stronger emphasis on community and teamwork, not just individual well-being and success. Dominic Hoffman narrates as if he is discovering the philosophy as the story unfolds. The story is rather simplistic although it does demonstrate a possible workplace application. Hoffman adopts the tone of a motivational speaker. His voice is easy to listen to and sets a smooth, even pace. His gives Simon, the primary teacher and practitioner of the philosophy in the book, a quiet African accent that sets him apart from the other characters.
