Presidential Leadership: the Defining Traits (5001)Presidential Leadership: the Defining Traits (5001)

Running for elected office requires certain skills, governing requires others.

Beginning in the 20th century as methods of communication evolved from radio to television and now podcast, it seems the rules of governing have changed.

The demands of our highest office have also changed. Are we expecting too much of our elected leaders?

Joining host Jim Falk to talk about the evolving landscape and the power presidents hold are:

Jeremi Suri, Ph.D., Historian, Professor Department of History, the University of Texas at Austin, author of The Impossible Presidency, and

John Lawrence, Ph.D., visiting professor, University of California, Washington Center, author of The Arc of Power: Inside Nancy Pelosi’s Speakership – 2005- 2010.
