MGT360

QUESTION ONE.
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for twenty-six years by the government of South Africa based on his political views. South Africa governed itself under the policy of apartheid in South Africa into two communities based on the race. Black South Africans who were terribly impoverished. The white South Africans were wealthy, well-educated, healthy and happy.
In the early 1990s, across the globe, the world was yielding to the popular demand that the society must be fair, forced the release of Mandela from the prison and later elected as the president of South Africa.
President Nelson Mandela through his leadership, inherited a nation bitterly divided across racial lines. On one side you had the blacks, very many who demanded revenge against the minority but wealthy white. On the other hand, you had the whites who feared the new government would be corrupt, petty, and interested only in the bringing down the whites.
Did Madiba choose on any side? Which side would you choose? President Nelson Mandela did not favor the black or the white side but otherwise decided to fight the unified South Africa. Mandela decided to show the black colleagues that he was not intimidated by the challenge but rather inspired them to overcome challenges. He showed not to get into power and play over who the leader is but persuaded the uncooperative team members to take responsibility. Through doing this, they thought that was their idea. Therefore they worked together.
Mandela’s leadership quality enabled him to use charm and friendliness than confrontation and acting bossy, and it proved useful. He treated ‘adversaries’ with utmost respect just as he treated the black South Africans and therefore he gained trust and loyalty of the white South Africans. In different scenarios where interests became competent, he became open minded and preserved the participation of everyone involved.
In conclusion, the leadership quality of Mandela demonstrated that once you are given the role of a leader, respect the position and don’t go too far ahead of your base supporters who put their faith in you.
QUESTION 2.
Analyzing Mandela’s leadership performance under the scope of these elements of transformational leadership quality (Transformational Leadership Theory), his leadership ability to change management fulfills these requirements. For instance, concerning Inspirational Motivation, Stengel (2012), refers that Mandela was publicly recognized as a visionary and charismatic leader in management. In 1943, he and his friends managed to organize a group to convince the President of ANC that something must be done to prevent the ANC from being marginalized.
His dream was shared by the ANC and was made then the group’s dream in which each was committed to its achievements. As a result, they managed to form a Provisional Committee League and recruited new members to ANC (Stengel,2012).
Additionally, Sinclair (1995) notes that Mandela had charisma, an abili ...
Today is a day of remembrance; a great world leader has passed on to another realm. The Hero of South Africa and 27 year political prisoner Nelson Mandela has passed at 95 years old.

Research Description on Heroic Figure
Currently, various heroes have done great things in the society. In this research paper, it is important to understand the images or ideas of heroes since they are pervasive, and they possess both universal and unique features. A hero is anyone rises up despite his or her station in life and acts as a representative of the highest level that any given person can attain in life. He knowingly and voluntarily comes up with a sensible decision in line with sacrificing something to help other people with no expectation of any compensation in the future. In this research paper, the hero described is Nelson Mandela born on 18 July 1918. He was a South African politician who became the president from 1994 to 1999. He passed away on 5 December 2013. He is a great hero who has influenced the lives of many people positively and changed the status of his country in terms of politics and economics.
Nelson Mandela remains presented globally as a heroic figure and many people still remember him for his heroic actions that he carried during his entire lifetime. The figure of Mandela satisfies our desires for a pure heroic figure model. It is in terms of profoundly dignified as well as eloquently intelligent in his actions. The history provided by the liberal movement of South Africa is because of the heroic acts of Nelson Mandela. The heroism in him made him achieve his leadership skills, as he was able to lead the people during his term as the president. Thus, he had the required leadership power to help him rule the country with a lot of wisdom and knowledge on various aspects. The leader was able to change the liberation movement to something better. The movement is very different now as compared to the past. It is because Mandela had a permanent influence on the people in South Africa. As per the character and actions of Nelson Mandela, he proved that a true hero would abandon terrorism and would triumph through the strength of his will, purity of his vision, and clarity of his thoughts.
Adding to his heroic actions, Nelson was willing to fight against injustice as well as racism whenever he discovered it. He also refused to bow to pressure of accepting injustice in order to be out of prison. He had the ability to put the main cause of justice, as well as freedom from oppression just before his personal safety. He was also an inspirational leader that proved he was a great hero worldwide, and his heroism is symbolic until today.
Many modes of communications exist that I can specifically handle. The three common modes of communication include presentational, interpretive, and interpersonal modes of communication. These crucial modes can help me understand the heroic characteristics of Nelson Mandela and the heroic actions that he successfully carried out. Audio and text-based modes of communication can also assist me read more about the heroic actions of Nelson M.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

3. His government focused on dismantling the legacy
of apartheid through tackling institutionalized
racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation.
Mandela was committed to nonviolent resistance, having drawn
influence by Mohandas Gandhi. Mandela spent 27 years in
prison, during which time his reputation grew.
About Nelson Mandela
He was Born on 18 July 1918.
He was a South African anti-apartheid
revolutionary, politician and
philanthropist who served
as President of South Africa from
1994 to 1999.
4. • It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front,
especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You
take the front line when there is danger. Then people will
appreciate your leadership.
• Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables and
strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective
conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal
of harm to the organization and the struggle we serve.”
Thinking Of Mandela
6. Emotional Stability
• His ability to control and manage his emotions where
others might be unable was astounding, to the point
of embracing those that had imprisoned him.
• Emerging without bitterness, he actively place
forgiveness at the forefront of moving forward, both
for himself and for South Africa.
7. Extraversion
Mandela asserted his opinions tactfully, and subtly
guided opinion in his favor.
His vision and passion of ending the brutal apartheid
system and setting his country on a path to freedom was
a cause that he was willing to give his life for.
His dignity and easy grace separated him from others,
and ensured that his self-assuredness and commanding
presence could not be ignored.
8. Agreeableness
• During his imprisonment,
a time that for most would
be one of despair, hostility
and bitterness, Mandela
was known to care for
those that were sick or
wounded, and to walk
proudly though the prison
yard.
• His agreeableness was apparent to all through his ability
to be accepting and nurturing to everyone around him.
9. Conscientiousness
Mandela when listening to ancestral stories of valor during
wars of resistance in defense of their land, he also dreamed
of making his own contribution to the freedom struggle of
his people.
– Integrity: Mandela was known as an honest and respected
man who was successfully able to move South Africa to fair
and free elections.
– He did what he said he was going to do. Mandela consistently
modeled the core values he espoused. This integrity was
essential to earning the respect of the outgoing white
apartheid regime, and eventually the respect of millions of
South African citizens.
10. Openness
• Mandela’s openness enabled him to see through the
differences and discrimination of his time, to a future of
common humanity, brotherhood and peace.
• Mandela appears to be more of a visionary.
Unique idea to unify the nation of South Africa by getting
them all to support one team
11. Emotional Intelligence
• Mandela understood that he could
not be just himself anymore, that
he depended on others and
therefore if he could engage with
those people he could create
better opportunities for a more
bearable life.
•Mandela was aware that his
existence in jail would be much
worse alone, and that by
influencing others and using them
to help he could improve it, but to
do this he had to manage himself
•“I was made by the law a
criminal, not because of what I
had done but because of what I
stood for”.
•This allowed him to establish
relationships with his jailors.
Mandela made people feel bigger,
and in achieving this he also rose
as a leader.

12. Self confidence
• Mandela had confidence in his ability to
do good for the nation. He strictly
rejected the offer made by jailers of
remission of sentence in exchange of the
Bantustan Policy.
15. He anticipated
• When offered freedom in
exchange for renouncing
opposition to the
government, Mandela
rebuked President Botha:
“What freedom am I being
offered while the
organization of the people
remains banned? … What
freedom am I being offered if
I must ask permission to live
in an urban area?”
16. He challenged
• Botha’s successor F.W. de Klerk called for
democratic elections and in 1994, Mandela
became president of South Africa in a very
rare, peaceful and orderly transition from
white minority to black-majority rule.
Mandela and de Klerk shared the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1993 “for their work for
the peaceful termination of the
apartheid regime, and for laying the
foundations for a new democratic South
Africa.”
17. He interpreted
• Nelson Mandela recognized
that South Africa could
follow in Zimbabwe’s
footsteps, unless he
practiced racial harmony.
That meant forgiving without
forgetting and sharing power.
“We have to surprise [the white
minority] with restraints and
generosity,” he said. A master of
symbolism, Mandela invited his
prison guards to the presidential
swearing-in ceremony.
18. He decided
• In 1993, a white man
assassinated Chris Hani, a leader of
the South African Communist Party,
triggering a widespread
demonstration against the de Klerk
government. Mandela, recently out
of prison, had the guts to call for
peace when people wanted
revenge.
• He also made a courageous decision
to use sports as a means of healing,
believing, “Sport…has the power to
unite people in a way that little else
does
19. He aligned
• “We understand it
still that there is no
easy road to
freedom…none of us
acting alone can
achieve success. We
must therefore act
together as a united
people, for national
reconciliation, for
nation building, for
the birth of a new
world.”
20. He learned
• Mandela exemplifies how a strategic leader adjusts strategy and
execution amid complex social, political, legal and economic forces
without compromising deeply held values.
• His thinking took a sharp turn when he met leaders of the Communist
Parties of China and Vietnam who were striving to privatize state
enterprises. “They changed my views altogether,” Mandela told a
biographer.
21. Integrity
• He did what he said he
was going to
do. Mandela
consistently modeled
the core values he
espoused
22. Optimist
• Mandela surviving 27
years of
imprisonment. It was
this optimism that gave
Mandela the strength
to emerge as an
international leader
from the moment he
left prison.
23. Creative Visionary
• He did what he said he was
going to do. Mandela
consistently modeled the
Mandela knew in what
direction he needed to take
his country. He was creative
in the ways that he moved his
people toward achieving this
vision. His use of sport, the
Rugby World Cup in
particular, is an extraordinary
example of his creative vision.
• values he espoused
24. Collaborative and kind
• It was this cultivation and
expectation of collaboration,
modeled by Mandela himself,
that allowed the country's
decision-makers to let go of
their original mentality: "my
people's agenda vs. yours" —
a mentality that was palpable
at every turn when Mandela
took office in 1994. Beyond all
else, Mandela’s fostering of a
collaborative and inclusive
culture (and country) was the
key to avoiding a civil war — a
war that had seemed almost
25. Flexible
• Mandela encouraged,
empowered,
complimented, listened
to and sought input from
all around him. At the
same time, Mandela
knew when it was time
to be direct and
assertive; he knew when
it was time to challenge
others and hold folks
accountable.
27. • Nelson Mandela had a strong leadership role
that combined to make him as influential and
inspiring a leader as our world had seen.

the condition of the people of South Africa.
• Some of them were:

empowered, complimented,
listened to input from

against the world’s giant super
powers, for the defense of
Africa.

• Though the changes were slow, there was an
increase in the percentage of South Africans in
work during the 1990s, from 48.4% in the year
of Mandela's release to 52.2% in 2000 - a rise
of more than half a million people.
