Prior to beginning work on this discussion, watch or listen to Dr. King’s last speech of his life, I’ve Been to the MountaintopLinks to an external site., which is “MLK’s final, great speech…delivered April 3, 1968 at Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee” (nicholasflyer, 2018).
During the speech, Dr. King addressed an action that could impact several businesses, the local economy, and the direction of the nation. Explain how the speech reflects leading through hard times while providing a defining vision for followers. What were the conditions at the time impacting his leadership ability? What direction could current leaders take from the speech concerning addressing the present and the future success of a strategy, movement, or vision, or the success of an organization?
