Presidential Leadership : What Presidents Can Teach You About Being a Better Leader

b>Harry Truman once commented, “In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still.” The nation is not just standing still—it is surging towards collective regression.

Presidential Leadership is the engine that will turn the tide and move the nation forward in the right direction.

By pairing two Presidents per chapter—and exploring common leadership traits that either motivated the populous or failed to do so, Presidential Leadership is a wake-up call for leaders and followers alike to heed the lessons of the past and move productively into the future.

From Lincoln and Nixon, to JFK and Obama, to Trump and Jackson, each chapter tells the story of demonstrated leadership skill in two administrations and calls the reader to apply the knowledge in daily life.

At a time where tribalism is on the rise and the ability to “cross the aisle” is in freefall, Presidential Leadership demonstrates that one can discover, appreciate and apply common leadership traits, even in the most disparate former administrations.

Presidential Leadership stands alone in pairing two former leaders in a poignant wake up call to propel the nation forward again.

In the words of Solomon, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” These presidential pairings provide a seat at the lively table of leadership where we can enjoy the good return of forward motion again.
