7.
NELSON MANDELA’S
8 LESSONS OF LEADERSHIP
1 Courage is not the absence of fear – it is inspiring others to
move beyond their dreams and fears
2 Lead from the front – 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 from him/her
5 Keep your friends close and your rivals even closer
6 Appearances matter – and remember to smile
7 Nothing is just Black or White
8 Quitting is leading too
8. 1 COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FEAR – IT IS INSPIRING
OTHERS TO MOVE BEYOND THEIR FEARS AND HOPES
Have the courage to:
- excel – raise the bar and achieve more, equip them to stretch beyond their comfort zones
- inspire
- bridge diversity — personalities, cultures, nationalities or cross-functional teams
- innovate — when you need to break out of old patterns and find new solutions
- step up and make a difference — even before you are invited to "show up" as
a sports leader, volunteer
- “walk the talk” of your organization’s or sport’s values, vision and success behaviors
2 LEAD FROM THE FRONT – BUT DON’T LEAVE YOUR BASE
BEHIND
Meet and exceed the standards you set for others – empower others
As a role model, set the tone.
Leaders are concerned about those who do not have opportunities to
participate and do something
Set clear goals and objectives about it, as Shackleton did
9. 3 LEAD FROM THE
BACK – AND LET
OTHERS BELIEVE
THEY ARE IN FRONT
Leaders “herd or shepherd” their
followers in the right direction.
Trust is built one block at a time.
Act as mentor to steer others in the
right direction.
4 KNOW YOUR ENEMY – AND LEARN FROM HIM/HER
Develop counter strategies
5 KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND YOUR RIVALS
EVEN CLOSER you can control them more
6 APPEARANCES MATTER; remember to smile; Carry
Carry yourself like a leader – there is a correlation between leadership and
physicality (George Washington); be professional
10. 8 QUITTING IS LEADING TOO
Knowing when to abandon a failed idea, plan is a difficult decision to make
Leaders lead as much by what they choose not to do as what they do
Know when to leave your leadership position is a good quality. Have the
confidence to pass leadership to others.
7 NOTHING IS ONLY BLACK OR ONLY WHITE
Life and sport are filled with contradictions
People hold different views, beliefs, opinions
Every problem has many causes and can have
many possible solutions.
Decisions include competing factors, opportunity
costs
Involve people to discover optimal solutions
Be adaptable and flexible without losing your
foundation values of honesty, respect, Integrity,
commitment, hard work ethic
11. Deal with conflict immediately – do not put this off!
Be open – if people have issues, they need to be expressed immediately, not allowed to fester.
Practice clear communication & listening – articulate thoughts clearly, clarify reasons.
Stick to facts and issues, not personalities.
Focus on actionable solutions – don't dwell on what can't be changed.
12. Encourage different points of view – insist on honest dialogue and expressing
feelings.
Encourage ownership of the problem and solution – do not blame.
Demonstrate respect – if the situation escalates, take a break and wait for
emotions to subside.
Keep team issues within the team, deal with directly - talking outside allows
conflict to build, fester.
