A 90 year old wiseman, who was imprisoned for 27 years, shares his 8 lessons of leadership

No 1
Courage is not the absence of fear — it's inspiring others to move beyond it

No 2
Lead from the front — but don't leave your base behind

No 3
Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front

No 4
Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport

No 5
Keep your friends close — and your rivals even closer

No 6
Appearances matter — and remember to smile

No 7
Nothing is black or white

No 8
Quitting is leading too

When I first skim the 8 lessons, I thought that such a prominent figure would have a more in-depth view on leadership. Read the article here, and you will see for yourself how a true man leads by following a set of simple guide lines. He is truly inspirational.


The struggle is my life. I will continue to fight for freedom until the end of my days. ~Nelson Mandela~
