Do You Have the Heart of a Leader like Harriet Tubman?

Feb 13, 2024 | Tip for a Terrific Tuesday

Dr. Bragg touches on Harriet Tubman's leadership

In celebration of Black History Month, we want to pay tribute to Harriet Tubman.

Harriet Tubman was a freed slave who went back and forth through the Underground Railroad over 19 times and freed 300 slaves. When we think about a leader, many times people ask, “What is the heart of a leader?”

A leader has to have a heart and has to be able to show that he or she cares for their people.

I believe that if you go back and forth through the Underground Railroad, as risky as it was when you were already free to go and save others, Harriet Tubman truly is a good leader.

The history books say that she didn’t lose a single person on that journey through the Underground Railroad with all the trips that she made. Today I ask you, if we could all have the heart that this heroine had, how much better could our communities be?

If we could learn to care for our fellow man, our neighbors, and our community, our school mates and our friends, and demonstrate the heart and unselfishness of a Harriet Tubman, will the world be a better place?

If you feel inspired to become this type of leader, check out this tip as well.
