Subject: A Respected Leader – Martin Luther King Jr. There are many leaders who I admire and look up to. But here I have to discuss about only one, so after lot of deliberations I narrowed it down to Martin Luther King Jr. An activist of who actively fought for the civil rights of the black people. A great orator, a man who taught people to dream, a man who followed the path of non-violence. Martin Luther King Jr emerged at a time when the civil right movement in USA was losing direction. 1. While characterising his leadership style I have to say that he was more of a coach and mentor who showed the path to young black people about how to stay organized and how to carry on a movement simply by use of words and not weapons.
