![]() ![]() Leadership inspires followers to work collectively towards the achievement of specific goals, aims, and objectives. It is crucial for the success of any nation (Atchison, 2003 Dye, 2010). Leadership is essential at all levels of society. Linking this model to leadership theories, the paper concludes that Nelson Mandela was an effective leader to the extent that he possessed many of the leadership traits, skills, and capabilities, which leadership theorists describe as constituting an effective leader. The model depicts leadership effectiveness as a function of the internal and external environment, group membership characteristics, and leader’s behaviour, styles, and characteristics. It uses the DuBrin (2013) model for analysis to achieve this objective. The current paper analyses the effectiveness of leadership with reference to Nelson Mandela, the late former president of South Africa, as depicted in the movie, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Considering this importance, it is critical for all organisations and societies to develop effective leadership. It also influences organisational and societal objectives and missions. Leadership integrates and intertwines followers and leaders. ![]()
