An Inside Look At Ike's Leadership Style

11

President Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House during a transformational time, and his granddaughter says his goal was to unite the country with "middle road" ideas that would allow people to resolve their differences and compromise.  In this edition of Update-1, NPC Broadcast Podcast team member Irv Chapman talks to Susan Eisenhower about her latest book, "How Ike Led." She discusses how the president always listened to dissenting points of view and took responsibility for his decisions.  She also talks about the closeness of her family allowing her to get to know her grandfather very well but also being taught to "compartmentalize" her relationship with him from his role as president. And she elaborates about her desire to become a journalist early in her career before her pivot into strategic communications.
