Presidential Historian, Author
As Director of the George Washington Presidential Library, Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky offers a rare blend of scholarship and storytelling that brings history to life in ways audiences immediately connect with. She draws on her deep expertise in presidential leadership, government institutions, and political culture to show how the lessons of the past can sharpen today’s decision-making and elevate organizational leadership. Planners consistently find that audiences leave her sessions energized, informed, and equipped with timeless strategies drawn from the nation’s most influential leaders.
The Founders fought a revolution, created a country, weathered international threats and domestic rebellions, and forged the longest-lasting republic. Yet, they were also deeply flawed, sometimes cruel, and intensely mortal men. Because the Founders were imperfect, their achievements are actually more inspirational and instructive for leaders today. Learn what their flaws, failures, and phenomenal successes can teach us about leadership in the twenty-first century.
Americans revere the Constitution and the Founding generation that forged the nation, but what would the Founders think about the United States today? This talk will consider how the Founders conceptualized politics, government institutions, and political culture and their expectations for the nation. Dr. Chervinsky will then explore how society has evolved or remained the same. This talk can be customized depending on the organization’s interests. For example, they could choose from topics including but not limited to the Supreme Court, the Constitution, amendments, the presidency, Congress, elections, political parties, foreign policy, and more.
What are the characteristics of good presidential leadership? What do all good presidents have in common? Learn about the shared strategies of the best presidents, how they put their own unique stamp on leadership, and how these lessons apply today.
