Michael Hyatt wrote a great piece on Martin Luther King, Jr. titled "
Eight Leadership Lessons from Martin Luther King, Jr." in which he presents what he believes King's "I Have a Dream" speech provides insights into what it takes to be a truly great leader. Be sure to watch the video and then reflect upon how do you measure up to Hyatt's eight characteristics?
- Great leaders do not sugar-coat reality.
- Great leaders engage the heart.
- Great leaders refuse to accept the status quo.
- Great leaders create a sense of urgency.
- Great leaders call people to act in accord with their highest values.
- Great leaders refuse to settle.
- Great leaders acknowledge the sacrifice of their followers.
- Great leaders paint a vivid picture of a better tomorrow.
