S5E5 Secrets of Great Political Leadership

On this episode of Ways & Means: what makes a great leader during a deeply divided time? And what can we learn from one of the most striking examples of leadership in history? We look at the story of Nelson Mandela and some of the surprising strategies that made his leadership work.

Professor Bruce Jentleson studied leaders who used statesmanship to bring about peace in times of division. He says Nelson Mandela stands out for many reasons. He had personal capital, built up over years of decision-making that put the people first. In one remarkable example, Mandela negotiated with the South African president, from jail, and gained the upper hand.

LISTEN:

And when Mandela was serving as president, he did something that’s almost unfathomable today: he stepped down after a single term.

“He knew he wasn’t a policy guy,” Jentleson says.”That wasn’t his expertise, to say, ‘Now, okay, what’s the best policy for developing housing in the neighborhoods that need it the most?'”

Bruce Jentleson is the William Preston Few Distinguished Professor of Public Policy at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University.  His most recent book is The Peacemakers: Leadership Lessons from Twentieth-Century Statesmanship.

    One thing I didn’t like is their slow server – most likely it’s just anything taking place at the moment while I’m checking the location out, but if it keeps it’ll certainly be a problem for them. chinese webcam nude If you have got a wish to download some of them, you’ll are looking to sign up to one of these two sites: AV9898 or Honnama TV, or both.
