Executive Office: A Look at the U.S. Presidents Through the Lens of Leadership
Growing up in the Midwest, Tim Traudt once named himself mayor of the neighborhood dirt pile. That first foray into being in charge led to a lifetime in leadership. Drawing on Traudt's thirty-plus year career as a banking executive in corporate America and his love of history, "Executive Office" explores what it takes to lead well. Readers will learn the importance of putting others first, creating and communicating a vision and a plan, knowing your audience, avoiding hubris, and more. Along the way, the author will introduce the individuals who have held the office of presidency, assessed and ranked based on their leadership prowess. You'll find Presidents who rose to great challenges and communicated beautifully, as well as those who botched opportunities to put the people first, struggled with work-life balance, and thought being in charge meant mostly listening to themselves. Part masterclass on leadership and part history lesson, "Executive Office" holds a mirror up to great leadership in an effort to inspire future and current leaders in communities, companies, and public offices for years to come.
