About This Book
In The Principles of Leadership, Dr. Yusuf bin Uthman Al Huzaim studies leadership as it is understood in the Islamic heritage and compares it with modern American and Western management theory and practice. He illustrates Islamic leadership through the examples of great Muslim leaders, including the strategies of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The author does not base his principles on Western philosophy. He refers to Western writing to show how much has been written on the subject, a point he raises given the shortage of specialized works on leadership in the Arab world, and draws only on ideas he considers consistent with Islam.
