ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Leadership in Turbulent Times" by Doris Kearns Goodwin explores the leadership styles of four U.S. presidents: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin .D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon .B. Johnson. The book delves into their backgrounds, ambitions, and how they confronted adversity.

The narrative analyzes their approaches to communication, team building, and decision-making during times of crisis. It examines pivotal moments in their presidencies, such as Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Roosevelt's handling of the Coal Strike, Roosevelt's New Deal, and Johnson's Civil Rights initiatives. The book emphasizes their emotional intelligence, resilience, and ability to connect with the American people, without revealing the ultimate outcomes of their presidencies.
