1. "It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea."

2. "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."

3. "It is better to lead from behind and put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate the leadership."

All these lessons from Mandela show his wisdom in leadership, as well as the love he had for his people. He put his people before him and lead them with a pride in his heart. These lessons give off a vibe of great knowledge and humbleness.

Mandela's Leadership Qualities (Camryn Cole)

# data[].attributes.body
Mandela had the ability to look into the future and plan for possible outcomes. He could also anticipate what would not work for South Africa. All in all, he had a good sense of the future.

Mandela had very strong beliefs that he was willing to fight for.

He learned from his mistakes and his successes---along with the mistakes and successes of others---and took this knowledge to make himself a wiser leader. Mandela had the ability to adapt to situations.

However, he also knew how to choose his battles and see what was more important. His opinions developed slowly in his childhood and he took his time to put himself out there at a young age.

Due to the fact that Mandela was the first democratically elected president in South Africa, he faced the challenge of trying to unite the racial groups. The most reputable feat he achieved was his process of developing a constitution. He also created a strong defense for South Africa and created alliances with countries like Russia and China.
