Recently while on a trip to South Africa, I stopped in a bookstore in Johannesburg and picked up the book Leading like Madiba: Leadership Lessons from Nelson Mandela, by Martin Kalungu-Banda. I read it on my flight from South Africa to Kenya. It was filled with personal accounts of people who had witnessed their leader, Nelson Mandela, placing high value on people and lifting them up. One of my favorite stories was about a successful businessman named Peter, who had been invited by the president to come to his home and have breakfast.
