Jon Meacham presidential his torian
The Art of Leadership: Lessons from the American Presidency Location: Maurice Gusman Concert Hall Jon Meacham explores what 21st-century leaders in different fields of endeavor can learn from the greatest moments of our common past. This presentation — non-partisan in content and tone — ranges from Jefferson’s pragmatism to Jackson’s management of public opinion, JFK’s capacity to recover from his own mistakes, and Reagan and FDR’s ability to manage conflicting egos. Meacham discusses how history can inform the decisions all of us make every day in positions that demand creative and innovative solutions.
