Importance of Imagination

J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Porter book series, leveraged her leadership when she presented the commencement address to Harvard graduates on June 8, 2008. She talked about her failure as a young adult and how it taught her to achieve inwardly in order to manifest outwardly. She shared how imagination leads to living courageously when its definition includes the...

• "human capacity to envision that which is not"
• "power to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."

Her message is a sterling invitation for us to be leaders of our individual and collective human destinies. See for yourself. Watch the live video recording at Harvard Magazine. Let me know what you think. Post your comment below.
