Whenever he greeted people he always had a genuine smile and good intentions towards everyone he met.

Mandela was a very sociable person, he made sure to go to all the rugby tournaments and had a very magnetic personality which he passed on to everyone he spoke to. At every rugby tournament Mandela went to shake hands with the players, wished them good luck and went into the stands to greet the fans watching the match. Mandela also led his country with great integrity. The text describes integrity as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. Mandela had strong beliefs and values, which is why he won South Africa's presidential election. Due to his strong integrity he was able to unite his country.

This eventually led to François becoming a more important leader for the rugby team, getting the team more involved with the country and its people (especially the children) and winning the world cup. Mandela's role as a servant leader was very effective. By putting his country before himself, he was able to realize his ultimate goal of bringing peace among the people of South Africa.
