I took this one from a 2008 Time Magazine article by Richard Stengel. These are the 8 Lessons of Leadership from Nelson Madela:
1 - Courage is not the absence of fear - it's inspiring others to move beyond it.
2 - Lead from the heart - but don't leave your base behind.
3 - Lead from the back - and let others believe they are in front.
4 - Know your enemy - and learn about his favorite sport.
5 - Keep your friends close - and your rivals even closer.
6 - Appearances matter - and remember to smile.
7 - Nothing is black or white. - Decisions are complex, and there are always competing factors.
8 - Quitting is leading, too. - Knowing how to abandon a failed idea, task, or relationship is often the most difficult kind of decision a leader has to make.
