Lesson #1
Post: Reflect on what you have learned to date. How did General Marshall, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr. draw upon their strengths to overcome adversity?
I think that, as a group, the three individuals had many things in common and separately, many distinct characteristics of a leader.
They all were dedicated to their cause(s), had obvious perseverance, and demonstrated resiliency. Each overcame personal and public adversity in some way, and each became who they were despite some noted childhood struggles/adversity.
They had very different upbringings and challenges, yet all three found a dedication and passion to make their life’s work. King and Marshall seemed to have a sense of purpose much earlier on in their lives and Roosevelt seemed to develop hers more concretely over time. Each overcame much opposition and used their strength to transcend beyond the political opponents, the public opinion, the social climate, and the governmental institutions to be become noted leaders from history.

All three had a way of transmitting that passion and turning into action! That is a big task that is also our responsibility and it is the difference between being a manager and a leader. Each of these people could reframe the problem in a way their listeners could relate to. We will discuss more on all of this tomorrow morning
