Presidential Series: Credibility

Presidential Series: Credibility

This is a non-partisan view of key leadership concepts as illustrated through real life experiences of US presidents and other influential civic leaders.  Leadership concepts apply across purposes, platforms, or policies - and this series will focus only on leadership concepts and make no commentary on the merit of their policy platforms or public pursuits.  We also focus on specific experiences and not a comprehensive view of their leadership history.  

To illustrate the power of one of the key leadership basics of credibility, we discuss George Washington.
