FaceBook post by Nelson Mandela from Dec 05, 2013

Leadership, Mistake, Politics

"Biography / Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.

FaceBook post by Nelson Mandela from Aug 01, 2013

I like a leader who can, while pointing out a mistake, bring up the good things the other person has done. If you do that, then the person sees that you have a complete picture of him. There is nobody more dangerous than one who has been humiliated, even when you humiliate him rightly.

Leadership, Mistake, Done

Interview with Oprah Winfrey, www.oprah.com. April 2001.

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

Inspirational, Leadership, Wise
