Leadership As Service

On the 24th of June 1995, Nelson Mandela walked onto a rugby field in Johannesburg wearing the green and gold Springbok jersey that had been a symbol of white South Africa for decades. He was the first Black president of a country that had spent fifty years under racial apartheid. That single act of service leadership, choosing to serve the whole nation rather than just the people who looked like him, changed how millions of South Africans saw each other. In this lesson you will learn the difference between leading for status and leading for service, practise specific service leadership habits, support a group through a real challenge, and write your own service leadership note.
