Interview with Talmage Boston, How the Best Did It

Interview with Talmage Boston, How the Best Did It

Year(s) Discussed: 1732-1989

Leadership is naturally one of the main topics that comes up when talking about US presidents, but it’s not always talked about with practical implications in mind. In this conversation with Talmage Boston about his latest book, we discuss the insights that he found during the course of his research about the leadership traits exemplified by eight presidents who often show up at the top of the presidential ranking polls and how they contributed to their success as well as how we can develop those qualities within ourselves.

Special thanks to Talmage Boston for the time and insight that he provided in this episode, and be sure to check out How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons From Our Top Presidents.
