Newly revised and updated! It is not easy being president. Just ask any of the forty-five men who have held the office. The presidency is not only the toughest job in the United States, but it also comes with the daunting double-duty of serving as “the leader of the free world.” The road to becoming the President of the United States is certainly a longer, if not more arduous, undertaking than the four or eight years a president typically occupies the office. Becoming president begins at day one of a lifetime in service to the community at ever-larger levels, from starting out in the military as George Washington did, to working as a community organizer as Barack Obama did.
Becoming the president means that one has operated in powerful circles and shown promise in doing so. For each person who has had the job, the ascent to the presidency has represented the culmination of a lifetime of personal growth and professional development. Being the president – even so much as becoming a candidate for president – takes uncompromising fortitude. It takes people skills. It takes wherewithal. It takes resilience. It takes discipline.
Being president takes, perhaps most impressively of all, a strikingly judicious balance of humility and confidence, which is a desirable trait for anyone in leadership. Every person who has held the office of the president, even those who have ultimately made disastrous mistakes and those who only rose to the office after the death (or resignation) of the preceding president, has demonstrated the qualities necessary in attaining great success, at one time or another.
This book looks at each of the forty-five presidents, including lesser-known and infamous ones, and attempts to uncover the unique personality traits and leadership skills that brought each to fame in the annals of history. What's more, this book attempts to connect the reader with those traits in a tactical manner, complete with an actionable takeaway for each chapter.
