Nelson Mandela hat sich immer am wohlsten um Kinder fühlten,
und in gewisser Weise seine größte Entbehrung war, dass er 27 Jahre verbrachte,
ohne ein Baby weinen hören oder ein Kind an der Hand hält. Im vergangenen
Monat, als ich dort war Mandela in Johannesburg - ein zerbrechlicher, nebliger
Mandela als der, den ich kenne verwendet, um - sein erster Instinkt, seine Arme
zu meinen beiden Jungen zu verbreiten war. Innerhalb von Sekunden umarmten sie
den freundlichen alten Mann, der sie fragte, was sie wollten Sport zu spielen
und was sie zum Frühstück gegessen hatte. Während wir sprachen, war er mein
Sohn Gabriel, dessen komplizierte mittlerer Name ist Rolihlahla, real Nelson
Mandela Vornamen. Er sagte Gabriel die Geschichte dieses Namens, wie in Xhosa
übersetzt es als "Ziehen der Ast eines Baumes nach unten", sondern,
dass seine wahre Bedeutung ist "Querulant."
Als er seinen 90. Geburtstag nächste Woche feiert, hat
Nelson Mandela genug Ärger für mehrere Leben gemacht. Er befreite ein Land aus
einem System von heftigen Vorurteilen und half vereinen weiß und schwarz,
Unterdrücker und Unterdrückten, in einer Weise, die noch nie zuvor getan hatte.
In den 1990er Jahren arbeitete ich mit Mandela fast zwei Jahre lang auf seiner
Autobiografie, lange Weg zur Freiheit. Nach all dieser Zeit in seiner
Gesellschaft verbrachte, fühlte ich eine schreckliche Gefühl der Rückzug, wenn
das Buch fertig war; es war wie die Sonne des Lebens geht. Wir haben einander
gelegentlich über die Jahre gesehen, aber ich wollte zu machen, was eine
endgültige Besuch sein könnte und haben meine Söhne ihn noch einmal treffen.
Ich wollte auch mit ihm über Führung sprechen. Mandela ist
die nächste Sache, die Welt zu einem säkularen Heiligen, aber er wäre der
erste, der zugibt, dass er etwas viel Fußgänger ist: ein Politiker. Er stürzte
Apartheid und schuf eine nonracial demokratischen Südafrika durch genau zu
wissen, wann und wie zwischen seinen Rollen als Krieger, Märtyrer, Diplomat und
Staatsmann zu überführen. Unangenehm mit abstrakten philosophischen Konzepte,
würde er oft zu mir sagen, dass ein Problem "war nicht eine Frage des
Prinzips, es ist eine Frage der Taktik war." Er ist ein Meister der
Taktik.
Mandela ist nicht mehr komfortabel mit Anfragen oder
favorisiert. Er ist ängstlich, dass er nicht in der Lage sein zu rufen, was die
Leute erwarten, wenn sie ihren Lebensunterhalt Gottheit zu besuchen, und eitel
genug zu sorgen, dass sie ihn nicht vermindert denken. Aber die Welt hat nie
gebraucht Geschenke Mandela - als Taktiker, als Aktivist und, ja, als Politiker
- mehr, als er sich wieder am 25. Juni in London zeigte, als er die Wildheit
von Robert Mugabe in Simbabwe zu verurteilen. Als wir die Hauptstrecke von
einem historischen Präsidentschaftskampagne in Amerika geben, gibt es viel,
dass er die beiden Kandidaten beibringen kann. Ich habe immer gedacht, was Sie
sind etwa so Madibas Regeln zu lesen (Madiba, seinen Clan-Namen, ist das, was
jeder in seiner Nähe nennt ihn), und sie sind zusammengebastelt aus unseren
Gesprächen alten und neuen und von ihm der Nähe zu beobachten und von weit weg.
Sie sind meist praktisch. Viele von ihnen direkt aus seiner persönlichen
Erfahrung stammen. Alle von ihnen sind kalibriert, um die beste Art von Ärger
zu machen: die Mühe, die uns zwingt, sich zu fragen, wie wir die Welt zu einem
besseren Ort zu machen.
1. Mut ist nicht die Abwesenheit von Angst - es ist inspirierend
andere über sie hinaus zu bewegen.
"Mandela war oft Angst, während seiner Zeit unter der
Erde, während der Rivonia Prozess, der zu seiner Verhaftung führte, während
seiner Zeit auf Robben Island. "Natürlich hatte ich Angst! 'Er mir später
sagen würde. Es wäre besser gewesen irrational, schlug er vor, nicht zu sein.
"Ich kann nicht behaupten, dass ich bin mutig und dass ich die ganze Welt
schlagen kann." Aber als Führer, können Sie nicht damit die Menschen
wissen. "Sie können eine Front setzen müssen." Und das ist genau das,
was er gelernt zu tun: so tun, und durch den Akt des Erscheinens furchtlos,
andere inspirieren. Es war eine Pantomime Mandela auf Robben Island
perfektioniert, wo es Angst war viel zu. Gefangene, die bei ihm waren, sagte
beobachtete Mandela über den Hof gehen, aufrecht und stolz, war genug, um sie
für Tage gehen zu halten. Er wusste, dass er ein Vorbild für andere war, und
das gab ihm die Kraft, über seine eigene Angst zu siegen. "
2. Blei von vorne - aber nicht verlassen, Ihre Basis zurück.
"Für Mandela, war über die Taktik zu verhandeln
weigert, nicht Prinzipien. Im Laufe seines Lebens hat er immer diese
Unterscheidung gemacht. Sein unerschütterliches Prinzip - der Sturz der
Apartheid und die Leistung eines Mannes, eine Stimme - war unveränderlich, aber
fast alles, was ihn zu diesem Ziel geholfen bekommen, die er als Taktik
angesehen. Er ist der pragmatische Idealisten. "
3. Blei von der Rückseite - und lassen Sie andere glauben,
dass sie vor sind.
"Mandela liebte es, über seine Kindheit und seine
entspannte Nachmittage Vieh hüten, in Erinnerungen schwelgen. "Weißt
du", würde er sagen, "sie nur von hinten führen kann.« Er würde dann
seine Augenbrauen heben, um sicherzustellen, dass ich die Analogie bekam. Als
Junge wurde Mandela von Jongintaba, der Stammeskönig stark beeinflusst, die ihn
erhoben. Wenn Jongintaba Treffen seines Hofes hatte, versammelten sich die
Männer in einem Kreis, und erst nach hatten alle gesprochen hatte zu sprechen,
der König beginnen. Die Aufgabe des Chief Mandela sagte, war nicht die Menschen
zu sagen, was zu tun, sondern um einen Konsens zu bilden. "Setzen Sie die
Debatte nicht zu früh betreten", pflegte er zu sagen. ... Der Trick der
Führung erlaubt sich, zu geführt werden. "Es ist klug", sagte er,
"die Menschen dazu zu bewegen, Dinge zu tun, und sie denken, dass es ihre
eigene Idee war."
4. Kenne deinen Feind - und über seinen Lieblingssport zu
lernen.
"Bereits in den 1960er Jahren begann Mandelas studieren
Afrikaans, die Sprache der weißen Südafrikaner, die Apartheid geschaffen. Seine
Kameraden in der ANC neckte ihn darüber, aber er wollte die Afrikaners
Weltanschauung zu verstehen; er wusste, dass er eines Tages sein würde, sie
oder Verhandlungen mit ihnen, und so oder so, sein Schicksal gebunden war, um ihnen
zu kämpfen. "
5. Halten Sie Ihre Freunde nah - und deine Rivalen sogar
noch näher.
"Viele der Gäste Mandelas zum Haus lud er in Qunu
gebaut, um Menschen waren, die er mir andeutete, hat er nicht ganz vertrauen.
Er hatte sie zum Abendessen; rief er mit ihnen zu beraten; er schmeichelte sie
und gab ihnen Geschenke. Mandela ist ein Mann, der unbesiegbar Charme - und er
oft diesen Zauber zu noch größeren Einfluss auf seine Rivalen als auf seine
Verbündeten benutzt hat. . Auf Robben Island, würde Mandela immer auch in
seinem Gehirn Vertrauen Männer weder er mochte noch verlassen ... Mandela
glaubte, dass seine Konkurrenten war ein Weg, um sie zu steuern umfassen: sie
auf ihren eigenen gefährlicher waren als in seinem Wirkungskreis. Er schätzte
Treue, aber er war nie von ihm besessen. Immerhin verwendet er sagen:
"Menschen in ihrem eigenen Interesse zu handeln.« Es war einfach eine
Tatsache der menschlichen Natur, nicht einen Fehler oder Defekt. "
6. Einsätze Materie - und denken Sie daran, zu lächeln.
"Als Mandela wurde für die Präsidentschaft im Jahr 1994
läuft, wusste er, dass Symbole wie Substanz so viel zählte. Er war nie ein
großer Redner, und die Leute oft abgestimmt, was er nach den ersten paar
Minuten sagte. Aber es war die Ikonographie, die Menschen verstanden. Als er
auf einer Plattform war, würde er immer die toyi-toyi tun, die Gemeinde Tanz,
ein Emblem des Kampfes war. Aber noch wichtiger war, dass blendend, beatific,
All-inclusive-Lächeln. "
7. Nichts ist schwarz oder weiß.
"Das Leben ist nie entweder / oder. Die Entscheidungen
sind komplex, und es gibt immer Faktoren. Zur Suche nach einfachen Erklärungen
ist die Vorspannung des menschlichen Gehirns, aber es entspricht nicht der
Realität. Nichts ist jemals so einfach, wie es scheint. Mandela ist mit
Widerspruch komfortabel. Als Politiker war er ein Pragmatiker, der die Welt als
unendlich nuancierten sah. Vieles davon, glaube ich, kam als ein schwarzer Mann
unter einem Apartheid-System von lebenden, die eine tägliche Gabe von quälenden
und schwächenden moralischen Entscheidungen angeboten: Muss ich auf den weißen
Chef verschieben den Job möchte ich erhalten und eine Strafe zu vermeiden? Muss
ich meinen Pass tragen? .... Mandela Kalkül war immer, Was ist das Ende, das
ich suche, und was ist der praktischste Weg, um dorthin zu gelangen? "
8. Kündigen führt zu.
"Zu wissen, wie eine ausgefallene Idee, Aufgabe oder
Beziehung zu verlassen ist oft der schwierigste Art von Entscheidung, ein
Führer zu machen hat. In vielerlei Hinsicht ist Mandelas größte Vermächtnis als
Präsident von Südafrika die Art, wie er entschied sich, es zu verlassen. Als er
im Jahr 1994 gewählt wurde, wahrscheinlich Mandela gedrückt haben könnte
Präsident für das Leben zu sein - und es gab viele, die das für seine Jahre im
Gefängnis im Gegenzug fühlte, dass die am wenigsten Südafrika zu tun war,
konnte ..... "Seine Aufgabe war es, den Kurs zu setzen", sagt
Ramaphosa, "nicht das Schiff zu steuern." Er weiß, dass die Führer
von so viel führen, was sie wählen nicht so zu tun, was sie tun. "
Letztlich ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis Mandela diese 27
Jahre im Gefängnis. Der Mann, der auf Robben Island im Jahr 1964 ging war
emotional, eigenwillig, leicht gekränkt. Der Mann, der entstanden war
ausgeglichen und diszipliniert. Er ist nicht und nie hat sich gekehrt gewesen.
Ich fragte ihn oft, wie der Mann, der aus dem Gefängnis kam aus dem
vorsätzlichen jungen Mann unterschieden, die es betreten hatte. Er hasste diese
Frage. Schließlich eines Tages entnervt, sagte er, "ich reifen kam
heraus." Es gibt nichts so selten - oder so wertvoll - als reifer Mann.

Nelson Mandela has always felt most comfortable around children, and in some ways was his greatest deprivation that he spent 27 years, without hearing a baby crying or holding a child's hand. Last month, when I was there Mandela in Johannesburg - a fragile, misty Mandela than the one I used know, to - his first instinct, his arms had spread to my two boys. Within seconds, they embraced the friendly old man who asked them what they wanted to play sports and what they had eaten for breakfast. While we were talking, he was my son Gabriel, whose complicated middle name is Rolihlahla, Nelson Mandela real name.

As he celebrates his 90th birthday next week, Nelson Mandela has made enough trouble for several lifetimes. He liberated a country from a system of violent prejudice and helped unite white and black, oppressor and oppressed, in a way that had never been done before. In the 1990s I worked with Mandela for almost two years on his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. After all this time spent in his company, I felt a terrible sense of withdrawal when the book was finished; it was like the sun of life goes. We have occasionally seen each other over the years, but I wanted to make what could be a final visit and have my sons meet him again.
I wanted to speak to him about leadership. Mandela is the closest thing the world a secular saint, but he was the first to admit that it is something much more pedestrian: a politician. He rushed apartheid and created a nonracial democratic South Africa by knowing exactly when and how to convert between his roles as warrior, martyr, diplomat and statesman. Uncomfortable with abstract philosophical concepts, he would often say to me that a problem "was not a matter of principle, it is was a question of tactics." He is a master of tactics.
Mandela is no longer comfortable with requests or favors. He is fearful that he would not be able to call what people expect when they visit their living deity, and to ensure vain enough that they do not think it diminishes. But the world has never needed gifts Mandela - as tactician, as an activist and, yes, as a politician - more than he again appeared on June 25 in London, when he condemn the savagery of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. As we enter the main line of a historic presidential campaign in America, there is much that he can teach the two candidates. I've always thought what you are about to read such Madiba's Rules (Madiba, his clan name, what everybody calls near him is him), and they are put together with our conversations old and new and of him close to Watch and from far away. They are mostly practical. Many of them come directly from his personal experience. All of them are calibrated to make the best kind of trouble: the trouble that forces us to wonder how we make the world a better place.
1. Courage is not the absence of fear - it is inspiring to move others beyond them.
"Mandela was often afraid during his time underground, during the Rivonia Trial, which led to his arrest, during his time on Robben Iceland." Of course I was scared! 'He would tell me later. It would have been better irrational, he suggested not to be. "I can not say that I am brave and that I can beat the whole world." But as a leader, you can not let people know. "You may have put a front." And that is exactly what he learned to do: pretend and fearless by the act of the show, inspiring others. It was a pantomime Mandela perfected on Robben Iceland, where it was afraid too. Prisoners who were with him said watching Mandela walk across the yard, tall and proud, was enough to keep them going for days. He knew he was a role model for others, and that gave him the strength to triumph over his own fear. "
Front 2. Lead - but do not leave, back your base.
"For Mandela, was refusing to negotiate about tactics, not principles Throughout his life he has always made this distinction His unwavering principle -.. The fall of apartheid and the power of a man, one vote - was immutable, but almost everything, what helped him get to this goal, which he viewed as a tactic. he is the pragmatic idealists. "
3. Lead from the back - and let others believe that they are above.
"Mandela loved about his childhood and his lazy afternoons cattle herding, reminisce." You know, "he would say," it can only lead from behind. "He would then raise his eyebrows to make sure that I analogy got. As a boy, Mandela was greatly influenced by Jongintaba, the tribal king who raised him. If Jongintaba meeting his court had, the men gathered in a circle, and after all had had spoken to speak, begin the king. The role of Chief Mandela said, was not to tell people what to do, but to form a consensus. "Put the debate entered too early," he used to say. ... The trick of leadership is allowing yourself to be led. "It's smart," he said, "to get people to do things, and they think that it was their own idea."
4. Know your enemy - and learn about his favorite sport.
"Already in the 1960s, Mandela began studying Afrikaans, created the language of white South Africans, apartheid His comrades in the ANC teased him about it, but he wanted to understand the African worldview;. He knew he would one day, they or negotiations with them, and either way, his fate was bound to fight them. "
5. Keep your friends close - and your rivals even closer.
"Many of the guests Mandela to the house, he invited in Qunu built to were people who he indicated to me that he did not quite trust he had for dinner;. He called to consult with them;. He flattered them and gave them presents Mandela is a man of invincible charm -.. and he often used this spell to even greater impact on his rivals than on his allies on Robben Iceland, Mandela would always include in his brain trust men he neither liked nor leave ... Mandela believed that his competitor was a way to control them include: they were on their own more dangerous than in his sphere he valued loyalty, but he was never obsessed with him after all he used to say.. "people in their own interest to . "It was acting just a fact of human nature, not an error or defect. "
6 Appearances matter - and remember to smile.
"When Mandela was running for the presidency in 1994, he knew that symbols like substance mattered so much. He was never a great orator, and people often matched what he said after the first few minutes. But it was the iconography , understood the people. When he was on a platform, he would always do the toyi-toyi, the community dance, an emblem of the struggle was. But even more important was that dazzling, beatific, all-inclusive smile. "
7. Nothing is black or white.
"Life is never either / or. The decisions are complex, and there are always factors. To look for simple explanations is the bias of the human brain, but it does not reflect reality. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems. Mandela is comfortable with contradiction. as a politician he was a pragmatist who saw the world as infinitely nuanced. much of this, I believe, came as a black man under an apartheid system of living, which offered a daily regimen of excruciating and debilitating moral choices : Gotta move on the white head I want the job to receive and to avoid a penalty Do I carry my passport .... Mandela calculus was always, What is the end, I'm looking for, and what is the most practical way? to get there? "
8. Announce results.
"Knowing to leave as a failed idea, task or relationship is often the most difficult type of decision has to make a leader. In many ways, Mandela's greatest legacy as President of South Africa the way he decided to leave it . When he was elected in 1994, probably Mandela president could have pressed to be for life - and there were many who felt that his years in prison in return that was to do the least South Africa, could ... .. "His job is to set the course was," says Ramaphosa, "not to steer the ship." He knows that leaders lead by so much that they choose not to do so, what they are doing. "
Ultimately, the key to understanding Mandela these 27 years in prison. The man who went on Robben Iceland in 1964 was emotional, stubborn, easily offended. The man who emerged was balanced and disciplined. He is not and never has been swept. I asked him many times, as the man who was released from prison differed from the willful young man who had entered it. He hated this question. Finally one day, exasperated, he said, "I came out mature." There is nothing so rare - or so valuable - as a mature man.
