Ruby's Leadership
Leadership is inspiring others to pursue your vision within the parameters you set,
to the extent that it becomes a shared effort,
a shared vision, and a shared success.
- Steve Zeitchick
When you imagine a leader, you rarely picture a six year old girl, but that is what Ruby Bridges was. Ruby had all the qualities of a leader; she wanted change, she fought for civil rights with grace and strength. Her leadership inspired others to follow in her footsteps, Ruby Bridges continues her work as a leader by speaking at schools and inspiring children to stand up for their rights. What made Ruby Bridges an inspiring leader was that she was so young, and being that age people thought if she could do it they could as well. Most importantly, she wanted change, she wanted to be equal. As said in the quote above her actions became a shared effort, vision, and success.
