A Message from Keith Pearson, President & CEO
With just a few months to go before we cast our ballots, many of us are spending a lot of time thinking about the character traits we’d like to see in our next president. If we look back on our country’s presidents, we see how many of them overcame tremendous odds by drawing upon their personal strengths, leaving our country safer and better than they found it.
Boston spent two years interviewing other historians and White House insiders to help bring presidential history to life. Talmage’s new book will be released in September, but in the meantime, we invited him to our Q2 Spotlight SeriesSM breakfast to talk about past presidents’ most valuable traits and how we can all apply these Ten Commandments of Presidential Leadership to more effectively lead within our own organizations. Don’t miss the summary of the discussion in this issue of Searchlight.
