Mandela-Style Leadership
The movie Invictus reminds us that there's more to effective leadership than mere education, charismatic personality or ego.
'The challenges of today and tomorrow will call for nothing less than Mandela-style leadership,' says leadership expert Mal Fletcher in a new editorial published on this site.
'Of course,' he adds, 'the former South African president is unique in our time. We are not all called to be global icons. Neither, thankfully, are we forced to endure the oppression and imprisonment that shaped this great man.'
'But we can develop some of the skills Mandela used to articulate a vision for his nation and to marshal the kind of support that moved that vision forward.'
Click here to read this insightful and inspiring editorial. A must-read for leaders of all kinds!
In an age of bullying leadership, where throwing tantrums is often confused with forceful personality, we must learn this skill of quiet, yet stubborn determination. And we must learn to wrap our personal focus in a respectful and genuinely curious attitude toward others.

I heard Mal speak at the Emerge Conference in Brisbane. Thanks for reminding us that Gen-Xers can create, build and mould the world NOW by being proactive rather than reactive.

I was only able to attend one of your meetings in Spain, but I really needed to hear what Mal Fletcher had to say. His message was brilliant. Thank you so much for coming!

Next Wave is certainly making a huge difference, bringing out the truth about a Christian worldview, equiping the church & helping give believers the insight to stand against a tide of postmodernism.
