This Monday, 18 July is Nelson Mandela Day, a day in honour of the late South African president celebrated each year on his birthday. Mandela Day emphasises the power each individual has to change the world and is an occasion for everyone to take action and inspire change. This really resonates with us here at Yondr, and we wanted to know more about Mandela and his approach to empathetic and moral leadership.

We spoke to Rory Steyn, former leader of Nelson Mandela’s personal protection team who shared his memories and lessons from South Africa’s iconic leader.
