Mandela-Style Leadership
The movie Invictus reminds us that there's more to effective leadership than mere education, charismatic personality or ego.
'The challenges of today and tomorrow will call for nothing less than Mandela-style leadership,' says leadership expert Mal Fletcher in a new editorial published on this site.
'Of course,' he adds, 'the former South African president is unique in our time. We are not all called to be global icons. Neither, thankfully, are we forced to endure the oppression and imprisonment that shaped this great man.'
'But we can develop some of the skills Mandela used to articulate a vision for his nation and to marshal the kind of support that moved that vision forward.'

In an age of bullying leadership, where throwing tantrums is often confused with forceful personality, we must learn this skill of quiet, yet stubborn determination. And we must learn to wrap our personal focus in a respectful and genuinely curious attitude toward others.

Mal, you have changed my life. Since you spoke at Get Smart Youth Conference in Wellington, in 2003, I have never been the same. I still have the tape & my heart & head are still coming to grips with what you said. The pioneer spirit. I LOVE IT!! Thank you so so so so much!

I'm in the British Army and a very strong practicing Christian. Everything inside me is screaming ... we are now having to have multi-faith prayer rooms. Where will it end?
