Abstract:
Desmond Mpilo Tutu, Archbishop emeritus, has been a prominent
character in the global sphere for many years and more recently he has
established himself as one of the great leaders in the world. This article
investigates transformational and charismatic leadership, as well as the
concept of zealotry and comes to the conclusion that the leadership of
Desmond Tutu is a synthesis of elements of pragmatic, transformational
and charismatic leadership. The article further describes the Archbishop
as a servant leader with elements of self-sacrifice, and a zealot with deep
compassion for people and causes. Desmond Tutu remains a leading
moral and reconciliatory voice across the globe.
