And the minute you say, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm stuck, I'm scared, I don't think I can do this.

you will find that lots of people who love you will rush in and take care of you.

But that'll only happen if you learn to take care of them first.

Nelson Mandela is a particularly special case study in the leadership world because he is universally regarded as a great leader.

You can take other personalities and depending on the nation you go to, we have different opinions about other personalities,

but Nelson Mandela across the world is universally regarded as a great leader.

He was actually the son of a tribal chief and he was asked one day, how did you learn to be a great leader?

And he responded that he would go with his father to tribal meetings and he remembers two things when his father would meet with other elders.

One, they would always sit in a circle and two,

His father was always the last to speak.

You will be told your whole life that you need to learn to listen.

I would say that you need to learn to be the last to speak.

I see it in boardrooms every day of the week.

Even people who consider themselves good leaders, who may actually be decent leaders, will walk into a room and say, here's the problem, here's what I think, but I'm interested in your opinion.

Let's go around the room.

It's too late.

The skill to hold your opinions to yourself until everyone has spoken does two things.

One, it gives everybody else the feeling that they have been heard.

It gives everyone else the ability to feel that they have contributed.

And two, you get the benefit of hearing what everybody else has to think before you render your opinion.
