"Contemporary Ike: The Art of Strategic Leadership"
What would Dwight Eisenhower say about the world today? Susan Eisenhower, author of the nationally and internationally acclaimed book How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower’s Biggest Decisions, looks at key examples of lessons in leadership and strategy from Eisenhower’s military and presidential period. In this speech, she examines the skills in strategic thinking required to address questions of short-term urgency with the vision to perceive long-term consequences. She underscores the need for leadership with a blend of head and heart—two qualities that were the hallmark of Eisenhower’s style both in professional and personal relationships.
