Nelson Mandela is viewed as a revolutionary leader for his ability to empower and motivate others using his strong regard for consensus and the democratic process. Mandela's leadership success can be attributed to his use of consensus. Consensus is considered to be the superior decision making process to build commitment and motivation in group members towards group objectives. When you read his book "The Long Walk to Freedom" you will understand how and where this leadership style developed. Nelson Mandela, considered by many as a revolutionary leader, helped organize the fight against racism and apartheid in South Africa.
Mandela witnessed leadership at a young age when observing his guardian supervising tribal decision-making gatherings. Mandela’s guardian listened in silence for days, never voicing his opinion even after everyone’s opinion was heard. After everyone had spoken, his guardian guided the group to reach a consensus. Later, Mandela used this experience to mold his leadership style Nelson Mandela was the first Black President of South Africa and he was one of the most instrumental figures that helped end apartheid in South Africa. After his term as president, Nelson Mandela went on to become an advocate for a variety of social and human rights organizations.

ReplyDeleteHe's the only president I knew who have had received more than 250 awards over four decades, that includes the 1993 Nobel Peace prize. I was astonished by his contributions to mankind, he will serve as an inspiration to all Presidents across the globe. I only see him in the magazines, there are only a few videos of Nelson Mandela in Youtube, do you know where can I find other videos of him aside from Youtube?
