Two questions. What are the skills needed to be a great president in a turbulent era, and what skill
S are needed to win?
People keep writing about who we want to win but so far anyway I havent read what is needed to do the job - to the level we came to take for granted from Barack Obama.
So, what are the skills needed to do this job now?
Ability to understand complicated problems, to hear diverging view points and discern truth from bullshit.
Agility of mind and imagination and deep well of hope, to see a way forward and things look impossible.
Ability to communicate complex and difficult situations to the people in a way that gets everything said succinctly and in a way that speaks to our hearts with authenticity and sincerity and hope tempered with realism.
Ability to bring out the best in people.
Ability to help us be better as a country.
Values. For real.
A vision of a better America and a better world and a path forward.
And what else?
What is needed to win?
