AB - The Camel Leadership Style, developed by Jibril Zerihun Adem, is a metaphorical leadership framework inspired by the behavioral traits of camels—resilience, adaptability, and quiet strength. Rooted in training programs at Samara University and supported by the Ethiopian Management Institute, this model offers a grounded alternative to charisma-driven leadership, emphasizing sustainability over speed and wisdom over spectacle. It is particularly suited for leaders operating in volatile, uncertain, and resource-constrained environments.the finding indicates that camels are examples of good leaders in volatile, uncertain, and resource-constrained environments as observed and studied, the methodology of studding the camel behavior is based on observation of the manifested behavior, reading books and asking the community and some secondary data compiled by the university of Samara .in the research the camels manifest five major behaviors or qualities in the desert which the article is Structured around five core pillars—Resilient Endurance, Strategic Adaptability, Stoic Stewardship, Navigational Wisdom, and Minimalist Efficiency—the style encourages leaders to embody the camel’s ability to thrive under pressure, guide through ambiguity, and deliver high impact with minimal resources. Cultural symbolism from regions like Afar and Somalia reinforces its relevance, while practical development strategies and a self-assessment tool help leaders cultivate these traits. The Camel Leadership Style stands as a resilient, culturally resonant, and sustainable model for modern leadership. this shows that humans can grasp various skills and qualities even from animals the only thing required is openness to learn.
