Four Quotes From Nelson Mandela That Illuminate His Leadership Style:

“They always sat in a circle. My father was always the last to speak”.

“A leader…is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.” 

“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

 “If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important – and you do that by being genuine and humble.”
