“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Last year, I was able to visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. The memorial preserves the memory of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968): visionary, faith leader and public intellectual, unwavering advocate of social justice, and martyr to peace, equality, and justice.
While there, I purchased and read Donald T. Phillips book Martin Luther King, Jr. On Leadership: Inspiration and Wisdom for Challenging Times (1998). In his book, Phillips provides a variety of leadership stories and lessons for our reflection.
Today, as we honor Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, let’s take a look at 10 Leadership Lessons he provides us, as we shoot for the stars.
