Episode notes

Highly filtered presidents will generally be competent, but unexceptional. Unfiltered ones are often remarkable for better or worse. The easiest way to be a high impact president is to make mistakes that would never have been made by someone else. Donald Trump had zero days in government before he became president of the United States.

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.
