ence. Sibusiso Mbhele provides principles, char-
acteristics and tools that are essential to be a great
leader in your field. The Make of a Champion raise
the importance of personal leadership to change its
either organizational or even community wise.
Champions are people of influence with their lives.
As people worked hard to get into the spot light and
still work hard to remain. In a nutshell, champions
are leaders. They are the true reflection of leaders
no matter what comes their way. Champions fight
the good fight of faith. Champions believe in them-
selves. Champions work in themselves before they
get into championships.
You are Born to Excel; there is no one
who is destined for an average life. It is
not about where you are and what you
are doing but the core issue is that of be-
ing your best. Excellence is more than
the mentality of competing. You are not
fighting your way up but being the best
you and being the person of excellence.
