Praise for Lessons in Leadership From the White House to Your House
Every leader and student of leadership should read this book. In
Lessons in Leadership from The White House to Your House, Dr.
Michael Siegel masterfully distills practical wisdom from the
experiences of contemporary U.S. Presidents and skillfully applies
them to the challenges facing leaders in all types of settings.
This is not an easy feat. It takes deep knowledge, unbiased
assessment, and objective exploration. Dr. Siegel’s timeless
takeaways alone are worth the price. Given the present realities of
often conflicting constituent expectations and changing workplace
cultures, organizational leaders can learn a great deal from how
Presidents navigated the dynamics of leading in a highly diverse
environment.Jim Kouzes, coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership
Challenge, and Fellow of the Doerr Institute for New Leaders, Rice
UniversitySiegel's Lessons in Leadership from the White House to
Your House successfully marries the fields of presidency studies
with leadership studies to produce a work of rare insight and
value. All students of the American presidency will profit from a
careful reading of this important and compelling new work that
helps us understand the complexities and the nuances of
presidential performance. Michael A. Genovese, Loyola Marymount
UniversityMichael Siegel has written an interesting, engaging, and
readable book about presidential leadership just when we need it,
when our democracy is under duress. Siegel superbly analyzes the
leadership strategies and styles of eight presidents from Watergate
to President Biden’s first term in office using four leadership
components: "Policy, Politics, Management, and Decision." It is
required reading for scholars, students, journalists, and the
public generally. James A. Thurber, Distinguished University
Professor of Government (Emeritus), American UniversityLeadership
skills are often described in lofty terms that are both
simultaneously simplistic and unreachable. Dr. Siegel’s book
bridges this gap by describing the essentials of leadership in a
familiar and compelling context. With political neutrality, the
author uses examples from our shared history to examine the
leadership styles, challenges, failures and successes of our most
recent American presidents.A must read for those interested in
leadership or contemporary history.Elaine Terenzi, Chief US
