Abstract
Parker Palmer (2000) described the world as a mixture of both shadow and light. On a grand scale, the interplay of shadow and light can be witnessed both in wars and the giving of humanitarian aid across the globe. This exchange of shadow and light can also be experienced in local communities through the existence of poverty and depression, as well as volunteerism and charitable giving. While there are examples of famous leaders who inspired large movements towards great change, these leaders are famous and notable precisely because they are the exception, rather than the rule. Most leaders will not bring an end to global wars or other large-scale atrocities, but they can make a difference in their local communities. “A leader is someone with the power to project either shadow or light onto some part of the world and into the lives of the people who dwell there” (p. 78).
