When it comes down to a leader of one organization becoming a leader in another, the only name that comes into my mind is that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He achieved a lever of leadership success in religion, in his church where he had many individuals who followed and heard his sermons as a pastor. He became a pastor in Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama when he was only 25 years old.
Civil rights during the 1960's was the point in which minority groups, such as the African America & Latino Americans, fought hard to create a society in which individuals are not judged by the color of their skin. Martin Luther King Jr became a civil rights activist in the 1960's and believed in a non violent approach when protesting unlike other activist groups who believed that violence was the key of power.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is considered to be an outstanding leader in one organization and became an outstanding leader in another form of an organization. He inspired many individuals in a religious point of view and used that same approach to captivate millions of more people with his speeches and demeanor. Dr. King Jr's time in the church developed an understanding of how to speak and express his views within a large audience and his time as pastor developed the characteristics needed to reel in his audience to believe in his words. He changed society for the better and created a better society for my generation and the ones to come.

That's actually a perfect example. As we look back into history and see examples such as Martin Luther King Jr. We can see that it is possible for a leader of an organization to also be a leader of another organization, as long as they have the proper set of leadership skills, and clearly without argument dr.king is a great example
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I used Jay-Z as my example and both of our people moved from one industry that involved performing infront of many followers to another. I think MLK obviously moved to a more beneficial position for the people obviously, but there are definitely some similarities. I think being able to inspire and speak infront of a large group of people is a very important skill that a CEO must have.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr. was a great leader. When considering about a leader like him, we can agree that an outstanding leader can be great leader to different organization. I don't think knowledge or expertise of the organization is not the most important things. The important thing is being skilled and has ideas to make the organization better.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr. represents a great example of a true visionary and a charismatic leader who was able to motivate thousands of people through his enthusiasm and inspiration. I believe his transformational leadership style allowed him to become so successful and make an impact on peoples' lives for years.
ReplyDeleteGreat example! I couldn't agree more. Sometimes it is tough to be successful as MLK Jr was. However, his ability to be a leader helped many people rally around him. When a leader has the support of many people, good things usually happen.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great example of how leadership qualities can be apparent in different spectrums. MLK can arguably be regarded as one of the most influential in history because of the change he brought about in the US, and how that brought about change around the world to some degree.
