Desmond Tutu on leadership

Excellent comments about a true leader being one who is a servant of his/her peers and everyone they come in to contact with. It's not about you it's about what you can do for others!

Tutu is the type of leader that brings down the best government in Sub-Saharan Africa - you can break down, but not build up. Blame the Afrikaner - the people that were starved to death (35% of their kids) in British Concentration Camps in AngloBoerWar; but the rest of Africa looks worse (except former Rhodesia). A true black leader would have uplifted African leaders, i.e. the corrupt king of swziland where so many are living in abject poverty - worse than under Apartheid.

Human rights + democracy + "peace" nobel awards in south africa = CHAOS + VIOLENCE.
South africa is just another example of Failed democracy

Plato much?

Cashing23: Unfortunately, suffering is part of the human experience and people who have suffered and/or faced great adversity in their lives generally have a deeper understanding of life i.e. what it truly means to be human.

Part of leadership is the ability to understand those you lead. Thus, the deeper one's understanding of life, the better leader he/she will be.

Chipower100: Believe me suffering can help you understand life but not always, look at many people in the world today, I think one can learn from other great things and still become a great leader. Alot of it is perception, every great leader has had something significantly shift their perception and it isnt always suffering that molds them into that perception.

Interesting video. I'm not sure there are many 'servant leaders' in the world, yet there are many good leaders in the world.

I agree with everything except the part where he said in order to be a great leader you have to suffer. ?. Not to sure why I need to suffer to become a great leader. I think I get what he means but it could've been worded better but other than that nice vid.
