I know this post comes a little late… but can we just talk for a minute about the man who has inspired so many, forgiven so many, and whose legacy will continue to be a source of guidance for leaders for generations to come, if not longer.
As soon as I got off an airplane, I read about Nelson Mandela’s passing. I took a minute to realize the significance of his impact on not just his country, but the whole world. Here was a man who stood up for his people, and who forgave his oppressors. I’m willing to suggest that for a person on almost any type of journey in their life, Mandela could speak to it.
You can look up all kinds of information about his life and his journey and all of the relationships he’s built in his 95 years. I’m not about to write something most already know. I just want to express how universally this man has moved people.
What. A. Leader.
Rest peacefully, Madiba.
Wait, who do we follow?
