Lesson 1
Courage is not the absence of fear,
it's inspiring others to move beyond it.

Lesson 1
When situations go wrong, a leader is to exhibit composure and handle the situation calmly even as he/she
feels frantic.
Others who look up to the leader can then follow suit and act
rationally to resolve the issue.

Lesson 1The act of
courage by not showing fear and anxiety is not for oneself, but to inspire
others to courageously
strive on.

Lesson 2
Lead from the front, but don’t
leave your base behind.
![Page 7: Nelson Mandela’s 8 LEADERSHIP LESSONS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/568134ba550346895d9bdb5f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Lesson 2
Though a leader must possess a vision for the future and work towards that, he/she must not neglect the support
and aid given behind him.
Instead of focusing all of one’s attention on moving forward, one must always assess the situation and check
if everything is in order before advancing.

Lesson 3
Lead from the back, let others believe they are in front.
“The chief's job, was not to tell people what to do but to form a consensus. Don't enter the debate too early,"
- Nelson Mandela

Lesson 3
A leader gives others a chance to present their views and make them think that they are leading the show, so that they would want to contribute. By presenting
his thoughts about everybody’s suggestions and evaluating them, he can steer the group towards the
right path.
It isn’t a leader imposing a decision upon others, but a unanimous
agreement that has been reached.

Lesson 4
Know your enemy, learn about his favourite sport.

Lesson 4
By finding out more about your rival, (i.e. his personality, likes, dislikes, style of working etc) , you are better able to approach them and win
them over.
Understanding where others are coming from can help different parties to reach a consensus.

Lesson 5
Keep your friends close, and your
rivals even closer.“Mandela believed that embracing his rivals was a way of controlling them: they were more dangerous on their own
than within his circle of influence.”
![Page 13: Nelson Mandela’s 8 LEADERSHIP LESSONS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/568134ba550346895d9bdb5f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lesson 5
Display your charm and build rapport with people, especially those who you do not like, so that their strengths can be fully utilised.
If a rival is strong, the best option is not to remove him, but to win him over so that you will
have an asset on your team.

Lesson 6
Appearances matter
and remember to smile.
![Page 15: Nelson Mandela’s 8 LEADERSHIP LESSONS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/568134ba550346895d9bdb5f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lesson 6
How you present yourself in private and in public exudes an aura of who
you are.
Most importantly, smiling no matter what shows that you are confident and
exuberant, hiding any traces of bitterness or anxiety that you might
have.

Lesson 7
Nothing is Black or White
![Page 17: Nelson Mandela’s 8 LEADERSHIP LESSONS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/568134ba550346895d9bdb5f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lesson 7
Bias or being prejudiced towards a group of people clouds your
judgement and views of them. A leader has to place everyone on the same platform before he is able to make a clear rational
decision
![Page 18: Nelson Mandela’s 8 LEADERSHIP LESSONS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/568134ba550346895d9bdb5f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lesson 8
Quitting is leading too.
![Page 19: Nelson Mandela’s 8 LEADERSHIP LESSONS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/568134ba550346895d9bdb5f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lesson 8
The leader must know when to accept failure with humility and move on to greater things, for failure is definitely
inevitable. Learning how to take these past failures in one’s stride and stop holding on
stubbornly is the right kind of quitting.
It is only in knowing when to quit which makes you a leader.
