Leaders execute, they don’t seek recognition

I was watching a biography of Nelson Mandela. When he started to be active in the African National Congress, which he joined in 1944, he never ran for any office. He never cared whether he was elected for any position. In fact, when he was elected youth leader, he was not present.

Nelson Mandela was too busy. He was out and about organizing the youth, never asking to be their leader. He showed leadership not by running an election campaign. He showed leadership by acting like a leader who actually got things done.
