Just a couple of days back, we celebrated our 61st Independence day (read this interesting article on contemporary India by Chetan Bhagat). At a time when India seriously needs young and dynamic politicians, I came across this news article on "8 Lessons of Leadership" from a leader who is as big as Mahatma Gandhi. He is none other than the African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, who turned 90 last month. Given below are his 8 lessons on 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
Very good job Kamala
