"A leader is like the good shepherd who follows his flock and through gentle persuasion draws them to the fold"

Nelson Mandela.

If I look at the elements of the quote, some key things stand out.

- good - a leader is altruistic and not selfish - a rare talent that inspires.
- a leader is like the shepherd - someone who enables and inspires as opposed to someone who is autocratic, or authoritarian.
- in following he shows trust and allows his flock to lead.
- in following he can see into the distance (the future), and at the same time keep a close eye on the day to day realities facing his flock.
- the art of gentle persuasion is like his staff, which he gently uses to nudge those of his flock who might be straying. As opposed to using a mechanism to punish.
- in drawing them to the fold he focusses them on a common direction.

If it is a quote that has inspired Nelson Mandela it has served him very well.

"If you don't start, you will not finish"


''IF U DON'T LIKE ANY RULE,JUST FOLLW IT AND REACH ON THE TOP AND CHANGE THE RULE''

Management Truth !

Management Truth !

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me sir, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

''You must be an engineer," said the lady balloonist.

"I am", replied the man. 'How did you know?'

''Well", answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me at all. If anything you've delayed my trip even more."

The man below responded, "You must be in Top Management."

''I am", replied the lady balloonist, "but, how did you know ?''

"Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air within. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems." !!!
