Seven Laws of Presidential Leadership

The Seven Laws of Presidential Leadership presents the traditional  topics of history, rhetoric, politics, Congress, the Courts, and other subjects through an innovative method that sparks student interest and increases teaching options.

After some 30 years of teaching and writing about the presidency at Florida State University, the University of Illinois (Urbana), Clemson University, and Grove City College, Charles W. Dunn wanted to distill into one book the general laws that govern presidential leadership. The title, Seven Laws, came from a series of new lectures, which he delivered at Clemson University. He noticed then that in response to those lectures, students listened more intently, took notes more thoroughly, and responded with more questions than ever before. The students response increasingly prompted him to think about how a book could capture the same high level of student interest. The result was The Seven Laws of Presidential Leadership.
