Leadership of Martin Luther KingOne of the world's best-known advocates of nonviolent social change strategies, Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), synthesized ideals drawn from many different cultural traditions. Recent scholarship on him highlights the extent to which his ideals were rooted in African-American religious traditions that were then shaped by his upbringing. The image of a social activist and leader was the result of extensive formal education, strong personal values ​​and lawful ethics. This excellence in leadership can be traced back to his character which is shaped by his moral values ​​and personality. We examine MLK and these traits to reveal the rationalization for his rise to transracial leadership in our society. By studying the life and example of Martin Luther King Jr., we learn that his moral values ​​of integrity, love, truth, fairness, caring, nonviolence, success, and peace were what motivated him. King is not great because he is well known, he is great because he served as a cause of peace and justice for all human beings. King is remembered for his humanity, leadership and his love for his fellow man, regardless of skin color. This presence of strong moral values ​​developed King's character which allowed him to become one of the most influential leaders of our time. Integrity is a central value in a leader's character and it is through integrity that King had the vision of truth. The truth is that one day this nation will live up to the creed: “all men are created equal.” No man contributed more to the great progress of blacks during the 1950s and 1960s than Martin Luther King Jr.. He grew up believing that "one man can make a difference," and that's just what he did. Integrity has a great effect on what we think, say and do, it is through King's thoughts and actions that he allowed so many people to have trust and faith in him. Through his integrity, King believed that America, the most powerful and wealthy nation in the world, would lead the way in a revolution of values. This revolution will change the way society sees itself, moving from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When that happens, King believed that racism would be able to be defeated and that this nation would be "free at last." King's unconditional love for all human beings was another value that greatly influenced his character and allowed him to have excellent leadership skills.
