John Gardener
John Gardener speaks of leadership as a special responsibility and his words are well worth considering
today:
“Leaders have a significant role in creating the state of the mind that is the society. They can sever as
symbols of moral unity of the society. They can express thee value that hold the social together. Most
important, they can conceive and articulate goals that lift people out of their petty preoccupation, carry
them above the conflicts that tear a society apart, and unite them in the pursuit of objective worthy of their
efforts”
