What is Inspiration?

The ability to move people toward a shared vision by connecting their work to something meaningful. Inspirational leaders do not command — they illuminate possibilities that others had not seen.

When you might feel inspiration

Inspiration is a specific form of leadership, which itself is a type of justice. You might experience this feeling in situations where justice is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define inspiration.
