"The job of the leader is to uplift her people... as individuals of infinite worth...."
Educator Turns Leadership Vision into Inspiration
D r. Lorraine Monroe's career in the New York City public schools began as a teacher. She went on to serve as assistant principal, principal, and vice-chancellor for curriculum and instruction. She then founded the Frederick Douglass Academy, a public school in Harlem, where she grew up. Like its namesake, an escaped slave who later became a prominent abolitionist and civil rights leader, the school became highly respected for educational excellence.
Through her experiences, Monroe formed a set of beliefs centered on a leader being vision-driven and follower-centered. They are summarized in what is called the "Monroe Doctrine." It begins with this advice: The job of the leader is to uplift her people-not just as members of and contributors to the organization, but as individuals of infinite worth in their own right. "We can reform society," she says, "only if every place we live-every school, workplace, church, and family-becomes a site of reform."
Monroe believes leaders must always start at the "heart of the matter" and that "the job of a good leader is to articulate a vision that others are inspired to follow." She also believes in ensuring that all workers know they are valued, that their advice is welcome, and that workers and managers should always try to help and support one another. "I have never undertaken any project," she says, "without first imagining on paper what it would ultimately look like.... All the doers who would be responsible for carrying out my imaginings have to be informed and let in on the dream."
