“Meeting the Moment: Inspiring Presidential Leadership that Transformed America” by William Haldeman, vice chancellor and chief strategy officer (SUNY Press, November 2024)
Combining the fields of history, biography, philosophy, literature, political science and leadership development and told through the lens of nuance, complication, human emotion, pathos, and drama, this illuminating and engaging book brings to life the stories of a select group of bellwether U.S. presidents during the distinctive leadership crises that define them for the ages. In highlighting the personal quality that set each of these presidents apart, this book illustrates not only how these leaders transformed America but also how they serve to instruct us to meet our own moment today.
