Hello, I'm Pippa from BBC learning English.
And in this series we're meeting leaders.
From all walks of life.
Today we're hearing from Linda Teaho, who.
Leads a large mori tribe in New Zealand.
As a leader in the community, Linda.
Has a unique perspective on leadership.
She believes in what she calls quiet leadership.
It's a metaphorical phrase to talk about leaders who are calm and thoughtful.
So which leader from history is a quiet leader for Linda?
NeLSON Mandela, because of the magnanimous way in which he forgave, you know, people.
Who did so much wrong against him.
And then he came out in a really, I think, elegant and respectful way, but still strong.
And I think that's why he has.
Attracted that global recognition of his quiet leadership style, but which still showed strength and resilience.
Linda says that Nelson Mandela was magnanimous.
This means kind and generous towards your enemies.
For Linda, Mandela is a quiet leader.
Who is strong and resilient.
And these are all qualities that Linda.
