Episode notes

When he went to Harvard, the expectation was that he was going to be a physics guy. He'd always been interested in other things, but never like realized that there was another option. And so I took a political science course called Warren Politics and it really appealed to me. It turns out that when you build sort of an abstract model of the world and you apply to politics, sometimes it applies to other things too.

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.
