Leaders frequently suffer from tactical overload. They confront a barrage of daily crises, meetings, and other demands on their time. They rarely have time to think beyond their inbox. They rarely have the freedom for creativity. This lecture will provide an explanation for why leaders must break out of this tactical straitjacket, and it will offer a system for doing just that. Drawing on insights from historical thinking, this lecture will provide a series of concepts and tools for leaders to implement as they strive to think strategically, rather than tactically.

This lecture will examine the transformational presidency of Franklin Roosevelt and show how domestic policy was connected to foreign policy, particularly President Roosevelt's successful efforts to defeat fascism and remake the international order. It will investigate President Roosevelt's ideas, his leadership style, and his legacies for contemporary American domestic and foreign policy.
