Leadership in a Slum

Focusing on leadership within the unique social landscape of a Bangkok slum, this book challenges conventional Western models by employing culturally relevant frameworks. Through systematic data collection and participant observation, it critiques the prevalent patron-client model of Thai leadership, proposing alternative perspectives grounded in local social systems. The conclusions drawn highlight the significance of anthropological insights for leadership training in Thailand and similar contexts, advocating for culturally sensitive approaches in understanding leadership dynamics.
