On sunday as I was cruising through the channels on my analogue TV set :) I came across an interview by Riz Khan on Al Jazeera, he was interviewing Klaus Schwab the founder and executive chairman of the world economic forum and a prolific social entrepreneur. The interview had progressed but I was able to catch some key points, when asked by Riz what makes a world leader, Mr.Schwab responded with the following answer:
"A world leader needs Soul, A Heart-which is passion for what he is doing, A good mind- knowledgeable about what they are doing and finally good nerves."
Riz later on asked him which leaders he admired the most and he named Nelson Mandela among others, "he is a leader who captures those four great qualities"....
Four great qualities, African business and political leaders must have.
