Moral Leadership

NPR

Published November 11, 2000 at 11:00 PM CST

The new president of the United States will be forced to govern without a clear mandate or a sympathetic Congress. Whoever he is, that person will have to call on his power of persuasion and courage of conviction - two of the qualities that define what Dr. Robert Coles calls Moral Leadership. Liane speaks with Dr. Coles, Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Humanities at the Harvard University Medical School and author of the new book, Lives of Moral Leadership. (6:30) { NOTE: Lives of Moral Leadership is published by Random House, ISBN # 0-375-50108-8}
