The book, although non-fiction, is written in narrative prose style, making you feel like you were part of the events. I decided to read this book because I have always admired Nelson Mandela. Even though he has passed away, we remember him for what he did for South Africa and the entire African continent. And this book is dedicated to a particular week in which he exhibited selfless leadership. One thing I have noted from this reading is how great leaders often choose a path less trod because of their convictions. If Nelson Mandela had not made the decisions he made at the time he made them, who knows what would have become of South Africa today? Mandela strongly believed that the position he and other party members occupied was "for a particular purpose". Mandela did what he was convinced he needed to do to avert a Civil War in South Africa, and today, history is kind to him. I will surely share the lessons I draw from reading this book as I believe Nigerian leaders, myself included, have much to learn from this great man. Please get a copy of the book in print or electronic format and read along with me.
Talk to you again soon. |
