A short talk (YouTube video) by TJ Walker about how great leaders frame specific initiatives within a broader moral universe to give followers perspective. The speaker argues leaders explain why immediate actions fit into a larger moral arc, citing Martin Luther King Jr. as an exemplar who situates present demands within long-term moral progress.
Great leaders talk about more than just a particular initiative or particular change they want today. They try to put things in a framework of a moral universe.
Because the ark of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward just outside.
King does an excellent job of constantly putting in perspective what he wants today within the context of a larger moral universe. Great leaders do that. They try to give people a sense of perspective. Why is it what they want you to do today and tomorrow? Why is it that that fits into a bigger picture of the moral universe?
