In this small volume, Rashid Faisal, addresses the void in American leadership through the lens of Dr. King's servant leadership philosophy and his social activism during the Civil Rights movement. In eight lectures contained within the pages of this modest text, Faisal challenges the reader to embrace a new definition of leadership based on five servant leadership principles found in studying the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This text represents a small contribution to the global commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's assassination on April 4, 1968. The 50th anniversary of King's tragic death marks an opportunity for leaders to reflect on the triad of social injustices King identified during the last years of his life: racism, materialism and militarism.
