Leadership Lessons for the New President
From the Forty-Four Before
Generously Sponsored by Ken and Felice Hassan
Back by popular demand, for the third year in a row, Ken
Adelman will share personal stories when describing how
our best Presidents, through the ages, offer leadership
lessons to the new President assuming office in January.
This FAU Lifelong Learning favorite will give a multimedia
presentation with photos and videos. But, it’s the
personal stories that, as before, captivate FAU listeners.
Ken helps us peek into the White House to see
Presidents making historic decisions. How they
proceeded in office provides leadership lessons that can
help our incoming President become more successful in
that critical office.
Ken Adelman is a true Renaissance man, having been a
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Arms
Control Director for Ronald Reagan; translator for
Muhammad Ali during “The Rumble in the Jungle” in
Africa; professor of Shakespeare at Georgetown
University; and author of six books. His most recent
book, the highly-acclaimed “Reagan at Reykjavik: Forty-
Eight Hours that Ended the Cold War,” is being turned
into an HBO feature film starring Michael Douglas as
President Reagan.
A book-signing event and light reception
will follow the lecture.
