A Recommendation From William Baldwin

Leadership in Turbulent Times: Lessons from the Presidents



Here’s my recommendation – pretty apt from a Principal in the current situation!?

A masterclass on leadership from four Presidents who faced monumental decisions and tests of their leadership. From Lincoln’s desire to unite the nation and abolish slavery after the civil war, to both the Roosevelt’s ‘Deals’ aimed at reducing inequality to Johnson’s desire to push through tax reforms having been bought to power after the shock assassination of JFK, this book offers a blueprint on leading through turbulent times. Lessons that could not be more apt today – whether that is from the rise of nationalist post-truth politics to the coronavirus pandemic.

Take care,
Will
