Recenzje

Praise for the Second Edition

Michael Siegel’s The President as Leader is an outstanding book on the American presidency and political leadership from the founding to present. It is challenging, fresh and comprehensive. This book should be read by students of American politics and by policy makers in Washington.

James A. Thurber, American University

Michael Siegel’s book could not be more timely. Required reading for any citizen interested in better understanding the ambiguous definition of "presidential leadership." More important today than ever before.

Kenneth R. Feinberg, Former Administrator of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund and the BP Oil Spill Fund

Rare is it for a book to succeed on so many levels. Reading the new edition of The President as Leader makes you feel as if you are standing next to presidents as they make decisions that will define their tenures in office. Providing excellent information on leadership strategies and styles, the book is a pleasure to read and captures American history like few before it.

Douglas W. Burris, Chief U.S. Probation Officer, Eastern District of Missouri

The President as Leader is a compelling text for students and scholars of the presidency, and equally persuasive for curious observers of American politics. The second edition includes a comprehensive analysis of Obama’s two terms and an initial glimpse of Trump’s first few months using Michael Siegel’s four-part leadership framework, reinforcing the point that "presidential leadership is exercised by real, flawed human beings, and not by superheroes or philosopher-kings beyond the reach of scrutiny or critique."

Shaik L. Ismail, Linfield College

...it offers a robust and comprehensive approach to studying the difficulties leaders face and suggests the means for overcoming obstacles.

Michael A. Genovese , Loyola Marymount University
