The Athenian Oath (at the Maxwell School of Public Citizenship)
If it is true that all politics is local, then so are all the solutions to problems. During a visit by (former Philly Mayor) Hon. Michael Nutter on Friday we found out that civic leadership is all about connecting people and making decisions with integrity (especially at the grass roots level).
Nutter visited to give a lecture called The Athenian Oath and Political Leadership in America for the Maxwell School’s Tanner Lecture.
Check out a small clip of the talk below.
Nutter is past president of the US Conference of Mayors and currently serves as Columbia University’s inaugural David N. Dinkins Professor of Professional Practice in Urban and Public Affairs.
