Nelson Mandela: Leadership lessons!
Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s inspiring others to move beyond it
Lead from the front — but don’t leave your base behind
Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.
Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport. Mandela began studying Afrikaans, the language of the white South Africans who created apartheid. His comrades in the ANC teased him about it, but he wanted to understand the Afrikaner’s worldview; he knew that one day he would be fighting them or negotiating with them, and either way, his destiny was tied to theirs.
Keep your friends close — and your rivals even closer.
Appearances matter — and remember to smile.
