The President of the United States shapes the national and world order. How he has achieved this over our history has come largely by his ability to persuade others to follow his leads. Given we are in a Presidential election year, the art of persuasion will be a key aspect to who wins the outcome.

In this presentation, Mr. Talmage Boston, presidential historian, will describe the powers of persuasion used by eight of the greatest presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Reagan.

Come hear presidential historian Talmage Boston deliver this important message on September 5, as he discusses his new book, How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons From Our Top Presidents—which has been endorsed by the country’s leading presidential historians, including Pulitzer Prize winners Jon Meacham, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Annette Gordon-Reed.

How the Best Did It takes the leadership lessons gained from our greatest presidents and makes them instructive today for all leaders who seek to enhance their performance.
