PORTRAIT OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER:
THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
David McGuire
School of Management
Napier University Business School
Purpose: This paper explores the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in relation
to four characteristics of transformational leadership.
Methodology: It draws upon excerpts from archival sources of personal
correspondence and statements by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stored at the King
Center, Atlanta, Georgia.
Findings: The research finds that Dr. King personified the four characteristics of
transformational leadership. It also illustrates King’s leadership legacy through
modern works on leadership.
Practical Implications: The analysis presented assists our understanding of the
qualities of and the way we think about, transformational leaders. It emphasises the
importance of building follower confidence; challenging taken-for-granted
assumptions; developing follower needs and upholding high moral values.

I have several of his books and his love for his fellow man shines through on each page.
When I see that he and some others were able to make a difference in bringing people to an understanding of the need for compassion and empathy, it makes me happy.
Thanks for comments.

I have seen this before and am very impressed with what Thich Ngat Hanh has to say. We are fortunate to have such a person to learn from.
