In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins is joined by Dave Schroeder, marketing leader for B&H Books and cohost of the Table of (Mal)Contents Podcast. During their conversation, they discuss their five favorite leaders and what they have learned from them. BEST QUOTES "I love Shackleton because of his fortitude, resilience, leadership in the flesh.""General Oliver P. Smith led from within and he stayed with his troops. He survived in the way that they survived.""Eleanor Roosevelt had a lot of influence as first lady and took advantage, in a good way, of that position, as well as anybody before or since, to do great good.""Condoleezza Rice's reputation is a tower of strength as a leader and a sharp and shrewd negotiator who held a position that was not normal for a woman or minority and did it excellently.""Churchill never slowed down. He took losing his position as a big punch, but hung on.""My favorite story about Lincoln that is helpful for me every day is when Lincoln would get mad at his generals for being unwilling to fight, so he would write long letters to them but never send them.""My favorite episode in 'Band of Brothers' is episode 7. What I love about it is it showcases the best and worst leadership."

In his new book, The Man in the Middle: An Inside Account of Faith and Politics in the George W. Bush Era (B&H Books, 2011), Timothy S. Goeglein, former deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison under President George W. Bush, describes his nearly eight years working for the White House. He describes President Bush’s reaction to the 2000 election recount, his response to the tragedy of September 11, and the behind-the-scene deliberations leading up to Bush’s stem cell policy. (Goeglein also, ahem, puts in a plug for the host of this podcast, saying on page 114 that he “relied heavily on my colleague in Public Liaison, Tevi Troy, whose outreach to the American Jewish community was singularly well done.”) In our interview, we talked about Tim’s experiences serving in the White House, why Gary Bauer endorsed John McCain in 2000, and how Tim got Karl Rove to write the foreword to his book. Read all about it, and more, in Goeglein’s story-filled new book. Please become a fan of “New Books in Public Policy” on Facebook, if you haven’t already. Learn more about your ad choices.

In his new book, The Man in the Middle: An Inside Account of Faith and Politics in the George W. Bush Era (B&H Books, 2011), Timothy S. Goeglein, former deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison under President George W. Bush, describes his nearly eight years working for the White House. He describes President Bush’s reaction to the 2000 election recount, his response to the tragedy of September 11, and the behind-the-scene deliberations leading up to Bush’s stem cell policy. (Goeglein also, ahem, puts in a plug for the host of this podcast, saying on page 114 that he “relied heavily on my colleague in Public Liaison, Tevi Troy, whose outreach to the American Jewish community was singularly well done.”) In our interview, we talked about Tim’s experiences serving in the White House, why Gary Bauer endorsed John McCain in 2000, and how Tim got Karl Rove to write the foreword to his book. Read all about it, and more, in Goeglein’s story-filled new book. Please become a fan of “New Books in Public Policy” on Facebook, if you haven’t already. Learn more about your ad choices.
