Episode 2 is the second of two episodes that completes the introduction of the Ivey Leader Character Framework. Hosts Bill Furlong and Professor Mary Crossan review the key points from Episode 1 and then using clips from the movie Invictus, observe and analyze Nelson Mandela’s inspirational, charismatic and effective leadership. In the movie Invictus Mandela is portrayed (accurately in our view) as a paragon of leadership, and observing his behaviours through the lens of Leader Character allows us to truly understand the sources of his exceptional wisdom and judgment, and we begin the exciting experience of activating our own Leader Character. This is turn creates the inspiration to pursue our individual Leader Character journey.
