The Kind of Leader We Need: To Truly Make America Great “With Liberty and Justice for All”
The Kind of Leader We Need is a compelling leadership manifesto by Mary Teresa Fulp that calls for a revival of character-based leadership rooted in integrity, empathy, and purpose. Framed within a vision to “truly make America great, with liberty and justice for all,” the book rejects performative leadership in favor of principled action and consistent moral courage.
Real leadership is not about titles, popularity, or control. It is about character, consistency, and contribution. This book is a call to lead from within, to become the kind of leader whose actions speak louder than promises, whose courage lifts others, and whose integrity withstands the storms of public pressure and private challenge.
In essence, this book is both a mirror and a guidepost. It challenges readers to examine their hearts, refine their habits, and rise into the kind of leadership our communities, and our world, desperately need.
The book is structured around 21 essential leadership traits, grouped into four major parts:
Part I: Foundations of Character
These are the inner virtues that shape a leader when no one is watching:
- Integrity – Honest in all situations.
- Truthfulness – Clear and courageous in speech, not manipulative.
- Authenticity – True to self and values.
- Humility – Leads through service, not spotlight.
- Self-Control – Governs speech, emotion, and behavior.
- Patience – Willing to endure slow, meaningful growth.
- Gratitude – Grounds leadership in grace and appreciation.
Part II: Courageous Servant Leadership
The posture of leadership that puts people first and acts with conviction:
- Courage – Does what is right, even when unpopular.
- Compassion – Leads with empathy and values dignity.
- Kindness – Chooses gentleness over aggression.
- Justice-Minded – Champions fairness and speaks for the voiceless.
- Servant-Hearted – Prioritizes the needs of others over personal gain.
- Respect – Honors every person, even in disagreement.
Part III: Wisdom in Action
The disciplines of thoughtful, discerning, and accountable leadership:
- Wisdom – Seeks understanding and clarity before acting.
- Discernment – Knows when to speak, act, or pause.
- Accountability – Owns decisions and learns from them.
- Transparency – Leads with honesty, not secrecy.
Part IV: Visionary Builders of Hope
The enduring commitments of leaders who inspire, endure, and unite:
- Vision – Leads with purpose, hope, and a moral compass.
- Faithfulness – Consistent and loyal to values and people.
- Resilience – Does not quit in adversity.
- Unity-Seeking – Builds bridges and a sense of belonging.
