"Obiakor poignantly bestows upon us the infinite wisdom of culturally diverse peoples that has been passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, he provides interpretations that challenge us to rethink traditional school leadership and teaching styles in ways that lead to transformed educational practices for all learners-adults and children alike-in an age of accountability and reform."
-Stanley C. Trent, Associate Professor of Special Education
University of Virginia

Traditional wisdom to inspire and enrich your teaching and leadership!

This thought-provoking book presents wise sayings from different continents, countries, tribes, and religions-proverbs that have had a historical impact on the building of communities and that continue to influence present-day events.

Believing that the complexity of the world's problems calls for new ways of thinking, discussing, sharing, teaching, and learning, the author focuses on the implications that these proverbs have for interpersonal communication and cooperation in today's society.
Ideal for teachers and administrators, this illuminating text offers thoughtful reflection about:

Self-responsibility
Collaboration and consultation
Spirituality
General life lessons

Industry Reviews

"A rich, lively, and positive commentary on our global cultures. Obiakor's selection of proverbs and the conceptual framework for the book is, to say the least, powerful. Equally impressive and effective are his brief interpretations and prescriptions for the appropriate use of these proverbs for those involved in education, leadership, and service provision." -- From the Foreword by Jacob U. Gordon "Obiakor poignantly bestows upon us the infinite wisdom of culturally diverse peoples that has been passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, he provides interpretations that challenge us to rethink traditional school leadership and teaching styles in ways that lead to transformed educational practices for all learners-adults and children alike-in an age of accountability and reform." -- Stanley C. Trent, Associate Professor of Special Education "Obiakor's interpretations of the proverbs challenge the ordinary mind to shift paradigms and power and expand our imaginations to use real principles to solve real problems. In addition, his interpretations uniquely touch on all facets of life and challenge educators and leaders to do the right thing." -- William B. Harvey, Vice President for Equity & Diversity Affairs "Teachers and administrators will find it a fine collection useful as a starting point for explorations of other cultures." -- The Bookwatch, June 2008
