Be Like Dr.KIng
Today, we honor the memory of a visionary leader who changed American culture forever. As many people enjoy this long three-day weekend, take some time to really think about the leadership lessons and the legacy that Dr. King left behind. The larger than life leadership lessons that Dr. King gave the world that are as important for entrepreneurs today as they were during Dr. King's life. It's a great way to remember why the banks are really closed today.
Leadership Lesson One
You Must Have Total Commitment to Your Cause
Dr. King was a visionary. He was a man who had a dream bigger than the times in which he lived. That is, after all, what real visionary leaders are all about. His "I Have A Dream" speech brought awareness and humanity to the national consciousness about civil rights in America.
Dr. King's stance on political activism in a non-violent way made him a natural leader and an inspirational figure. He led a social movement of equality during a time when he wasn't supported by most. In fact, he was threatened and despised by many. But he stayed committed to the vision he held. Sadly, his leadership and dream ultimately cost Dr. King his life.
Leadership Lesson Two
Disrupting the Status is Essential for Change
Dr. King is honored and revered today, but he wasn't embraced by society during his short life. However, Dr. King knew that his dream of equality even when equality was not popular was more important than the status .His actions backed his vision and he shook up the popular culture of the time. Sometimes doing things completely different is what's necessary for evolution and innovation.
Leadership Lesson Three
Have A Dream... Then Communicate it and do it
"I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation," spoke Dr. King as he began his address at the Washington Monument. Those were tall words for a leader to proclaim across an audience of over 250,000 people. But Dr. King had a dream and he couldn't be silent about it.
How effective is a dream if you aren't communicating it? Dreaming without doing is for childhood. Real leaders have big dreams, take big steps to communicate them, and then they go take big actions! Dr. King's actions made him one of the great leaders of the 20th century, Time Magazine's "Man Of The Year" in 1963 and a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1964. How do you plan to turn your dreaming into doing?
