The president of the United States controls enough nuclear weapons that 30 minutes from now, he can end human civilization. He just has to give the order. And so when you say, well, I want to blow up the system, that's not necessarily a myth,. Right? You could literally love the system if you have the wrong person on the job. So what we want to do more than anything is make sure that anything you do doesn't destroy what you've already got.
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.
