Episode notes

The author is of Indian descent. Did your parents encourage you to be curious about the things that you were very curious about? And if you have siblings, where do you fall in the birth order and did the advice change based on siblings? So no, so no, okay. I would say my parents were not true when I decided to put up modeling whenI decided to do political science. They didn't forgive me for deciding not to be like a quote unquote real scientist until I ended up on the Harvard faculty.

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.
