Presidential Leadership Lessons for the Business Executive

Presidential Leadership Lessons – Reassessing the Legacy of Warren G. Harding

Who are our greatest Presidents? What lessons can the modern-day business leader learn from our 46 Chiefs of State? Welcome to a new season of this award-winning podcast series with Tom Fox and Richard Lummis to delve into the great and not-so-great Presidents to mine their successes and failures for today’s business executives.

In this episode, Tom Fox and Richard Lummis delve into the presidency and life of Warren G. Harding, often labeled as one of the worst U.S. presidents. They investigate his pre-political career as a newspaper editor and discuss his rise in politics and the personal and public crises he faced. Despite his seemingly ineffective presidency, Harding saw the introduction of new technologies, progressive tax policies, and increased tariffs, which helped fuel the Roaring Twenties. However, significant scandals, including Teapot Dome, overshadowed his tenure. The episode closes by questioning whether Harding’s administration was a lost opportunity for greater achievements and more substantial reforms.

Key highlights:

  • Early Life and Career of Warren G. Harding
  • Political Rise: From Ohio to the Senate
  • The 1920 Presidential Campaign
  • Domestic Policies and Achievements
  • Foreign Affairs and International Relations
  • Scandals and Controversies
  • Legacy and Reassessment of Warren G. Harding
