Presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning Author Jon Meacham is one of America's most prominent public intellectuals. A contributor to TIME and The New York Times Book Review, Meacham is a highly sought-after commentator, regularly appearing on CNN and MSNBC. A skilled orator with a depth of knowledge about politics, religion, and current affairs, Meacham brings historical context to issues impacting our lives. During “The Art of Leadership: Lessons Learned from the American Presidency,” Meacham explores what 21st-century leaders can learn from the greatest moments of our common past. This presentation — non-partisan in content and tone — examines how history can inform the decisions all of us make every day in positions that demand innovative solutions.
