Leadership: Nelson Mandela.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Although our theme for this essay is "Leadership in the Making, " I really wanted to do this essay on Nelson Mandela, because he is such a person of peace. When he was born in 1918, Medela's father named him Rolihlahla by his father. This name technically means"pulling the branch of a tree" but colloquially means "troublemaker." For his "trouble" and speaking of Africans owning their own land he was imprisoned for over 20 years. This man is inspiring! Bibliography lists 5 sources.
