The components of Mandela’s leadership style was developed through his self confidence
Mandela was a charismatic leader because his behaviour was that of a unique style. "He was reaching out to the white minority regime while stressing the need for black majority empowerment, this all, being done through peaceful means. Only a man with spiritual substance is able to fulfil his objective through peaceful mean because it requires patience on the part of that person to deal with such a situation that involve’ a great multitude of people. As a super statesman, liberator, and peacemaker, Mandela's opposition to the Iraq War is what was expected from this humble but alert African. He even refused to meet President George Bush of the United States of America when he visited South Africa. (Christian Science Monitor)
Mandala was an emotionally stable person as well because he never reacted to his oppressors or to any one and this was evidenced when he was released from prison.
