Today marks the day that the world celebrates Martin Luther King Day, a recognition of a man who had major impact on the world. If you haven’t watched it lately, I urge you to take a minute and watch his “I Have a Dream” speech below.

My niece, who is 9 years old, was telling me the other day about their studies about Dr. King. I asked her what he did and her response was with the simplicity of a child: “He made it so blacks and whites can be together. Aunt Kathy, without that, you and Henderson might never have met.” All she sees is that she has an uncle that she loves very much and who is special to her. The lesson she learned in school actually just reinforced what she already knew.

I think Martin Luther King taught us some great lessons in leadership and the blogs today are already full of those leaders. For us today, I simply want to encourage you to watch the video (it’s 17 minutes) and reflect on what this man taught us about leadership.

What lessons do you take from Martin Luther King’s life about leadership? How can we apply those to our own lives today? I look forward to your comments.
