About this title

About the Author

Bill Porter is an international speaker, author and political consultant. For the past 35 years, Bill has been an active financial planning practitioner and is a former instructor of estate planning and taxation. From 1989 to 2001 he lived and worked in Europe. Bill is currently finishing his doctoral degree in the Executive Leadership Program at The George Washington University and holds a BS, Master of Education, is a Doctoral Candidate and a Chartered Financial Consultant. Bill's book, Presidential Lessons Learned: Follow the Leader assesses the leadership strengths and weaknesses of four former presidents. He has spent the last four years researching presidential leadership, as a solution to today's problems. The results were unexpected, profound and extremely relevant to the 2008 election. We now have a tool that we can use not only to assess each of the candidates, but also one that can alter the dynamics of the election process itself. Like many other Americans, Bill feels that our country has lost its way and that neither presidential candidate has offered a definitive roadmap that will lead us back to the highway of prosperity and common sense. He knows we need a presidential leader who will accurately assess our situation (both for problems and opportunities), develop visions of the necessary action plans, generate public support for the shared visions, and ultimately obtain congressional approval for their enactment. Why are some presidents much more capable than others in successfully navigating their agendas through Congress and thus delivering on their campaign promises? Follow the Leader answers those questions. By comparing four presidents and four legislative initiatives (two were successful and two were failures), we find that there are ten major rules that a president must follow to successfully enact legislation. Bill offers these rules as lessons for the next president to succeed.
