Observing the life of Mr. Mandela since he was an
ordinary man until he became a great leader, I have learned a few things in his
leadership:
·
He
Listens to His subordinates.
· He
is Open to Any Ideas.
· He
Learned to Work with His Opponents in Politics, even with His enemies (if you
will call it as such...)
· He
Learned to Forgive.
· He
Don’t Dwell in the Past.
· He
Don’t Take Politics in a Personal Way.
· He
is Focus, He Lived to What He said, and He was Honest to Himself and to His
People.
We have seen and been under different leaderships;
be it at work, in school, at church, in any organizations and governments in the
world. If you are a leader, it means you have responsibilities and rightful
duties. And as a leader, the only time you lift
up your finger is when you point to your followers, to your disciples, and
to your constituents. It is when you're leading them to the right direction, and the way to success. You influenced
them by pointing them to the path of success. Your finger is a great instrument
to use to point to the failure/failures you made so they won’t take the same
path or make the same mistake as you did. You will be more concern about their
future than what others may say about you. You will travel an extra mile for
their good, for their success, and for their future even if it takes your time, and a step to sacrifices. You walk, you fly, and you may drive to show your
love, and concern to them. You avoid doing things for your personal interest. Humility is the
key to unity and understanding. You will let the Lord lead you, and you will be
submissive to the greater power and authority. Their success will be your
success. I like the leadership of Mr. Nelson Mandela and he is a great example
for politicians to follow; but no one is greater, and a perfect leader than the
Lord Jesus Christ. Follow the Lord Jesus Ch rist's leadership in your life. It is the key to Mary and Joseph's success, blessings, and why God used them mightily. "Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:" (Matthew 1:24)
