Doris Kearns Goodwin on "Leadership: In Turbulent Times"

Doris Kearns Goodwin, D'Arce, Bill Benson, Jr., Bob

Doris Kearns Goodwin's *Leadership in Turbulent Times* analyzes the formative adversity, crisis management, and legacies of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson to derive lessons for contemporary political dysfunction. Drawing from her personal experience as a White House Fellow under Johnson and historical research, Goodwin details how these four leaders utilized discipline, emotional intelligence, and specific energy-replenishment strategies to navigate national upheavals. The work concludes by contrasting their methods of fostering national unity against modern tribalism, warning that democracy falters when citizens view one another as opponents rather than fellow Americans.
