  • Nelson Mandela, because of the magnanimous way

  • in which he forgave, you know,

  • people who did so much wrong against him

  • and then he came out in a really elegant

  • and respectful way, but still strong.

  • And I think that's why he has attracted that global recognition

  • of his quiet leadership style,

  • but which still showed strength and resilience.

  • To be a leader that gains respect,

  • you have to be able to demonstrate that you are committed,

  • that you're a hard worker.

  • I think they should not underestimate

  • the strength and wisdom that are all around us.

  • And our... and our elders, you know,

  • have got so much experience and wisdom,

  • just by having lived on this earth,

  • you know, for so long.

  • Knowing that you can't please everybody all of the time,

  • but just doing the best that you can anyway.

  • I think it's really important for any leader to get feedback:

  • to go through some kind of an evaluation

  • or assessment process,

  • you know, fairly early on into their term

  • to get some professional feedback on how they going.

Nelson Mandela, because of the magnanimous way
