“War, Leadership and a Moral Life”
John Graham challenges military leaders-to-be at two service academies to recognize that successful leadership has to be more than tough, decisive and smart. It has to have heart, and it has to have a moral context shaped by a personal search for meaning.
At Annapolis all 4,500 midshipmen roared to their feet in response to this speech, as did the warriors-to-be at the Air Force Academy. There is hope.
This speech was given as the closing keynote at the National Conference on Character and Leadership at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and as the Forrestal Lecture at the U.S. Naval Academy.

“What Do You Care About”
It’s not easy to hold the attention of 1,000 high school students at
8:00 in the morning, but this speech did. Leading with stories of his
own adventurous life. John Graham tells students that what’s important
in life is knowing what to take risks for, and then to take them well.
Like many others, he’s learned that the most important risk in life is
the quest for personal meaning, and that the surest source of that
meaning is service—of solving public problems, of making life better
for other people.
Given at Eastside Catholic High School in Bellevue, as a kickoff to a “Day of Service.”
