5 Things MLK Did Well

"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

5 Things MLK did well:

1. Responded instead of reacting; self-regulated his instinctive drive to react

2. Encouraged people groups to adapt toward their strongest member instead of herding to protect their weakest members.

3. He used challenge as a chance to produce growth. Avoided blame and victimization. 

4. He allowed time for processes to mature. No quick fix mentality.

5. Stood up for what was right. There was no failure of nerve in his leadership.
