Nelson Mandela's Rules of Leadership
1) Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s inspiring others to move beyond it
2) Lead from the front — but don’t leave your base behind
3) Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front
4) Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport
5) Keep your friends close — and your rivals even closer
6) Appearances matter — and remember to smile
7) Nothing is black or white
8) Quitting is leading too
