Episode notes

The only major domestic policy initiative of the Trump administration was a gigantic tax cut for the richest people in the United States. The house of representatives is is capped right now at 500 members of Congress, but the population keeps going up. MacIntosh: A single member of Congress represents 135 million divided by 330 million voters. That's just too many people for any member of Congress to get on one basis and do their job well.

In this podcast episode, we sit down with Gautam Mukunda, a Research Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, to discuss what we can learn about leadership from presidential elections. Drawing on insights from his book 'Picking Presidents', which examines the qualities that make for successful leaders, Mukunda provides a fascinating analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike. Whether you're a political junkie or simply interested in the qualities that make for effective leadership, this episode is sure to provide plenty of food for thought.
