I’ve been rereading Lives of Moral Leadership, by the scholar Robert Coles. Every summer I teach a capstone course in educational leadership, and this book is a staple in our class.
Mr. Coles reminds us that great leaders can come from anywhere. Some are people we know — like John F. Kennedy or Gandhi — and some are unknowns. A story in the book that resonates with me is about Albert Jones, a janitor in Boston in the 1960s, when the schools were being desegregated. He was not a public figure; he was a private, concerned citizen.
We’re sorry. Something went wrong.
