Since mid-century, America has witnessed an ominous decline in
presidential leadership, culminating in the failing presidency of
George W. Bush today. How did this happen? In "Running Alone," the
distinguished political scientist and leadership expert James
MacGregor Burns finds the origin of the problem in John F.
Kennedy's presidential style-and its influence on his successors in
the Oval Office. Kennedy rejected collective leadership in favor of
a highly personalized executive branch, run by a small group of
hand-picked advisors. His successors followed his lead; each in his
own way ran and governed alone, exploiting the party base while
often ignoring party platforms and party needs. Burns charts the
decline of genuine leadership in the Oval Office and offers
practical proposals for restoring the kind of transforming
leadership that this country so desperately needs. With unsurpassed
knowledge of American history and politics, Burns shows us the way
forward.
