Building on the pioneering work of political scientist Fred Greenstein and others, this book argues that leadership in the White House can be explained and assessed by using a consistent set of criteria to analyze presidential performance. Siegel shows that presidential leadership is exercised by real, flawed human beings, and not by superheroes or philosopher-kings beyond the reach of scrutiny or critique. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew to the Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a new chapter covering both terms of the Obama administration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplies the author's four-part leadership framework to the early part,of the Trump administration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the possibilities of presidential leadership in an era of intense partisanship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for the Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Siegel’s \u003ci\u003eThe President as Leader\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding book on the American presidency and political leadership from the founding to present.
