The trait is known as “Practice being the last to speak”
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s leadership talk on youtube.
Nelson Mandela had perfected this leadership art.Practicing being the last to speak is by no means a weak trait of leadership.
It needs great subject matter knowledge , empathy and listening skills in giving everyone in a group a chance to express their views and synergize the findings at the end.
This is an art he had learned from his father while accompanying him for tribal meetings.
True principle centred leadership needs empathy , listening skills to make the members in the group feel as if they belong..
