Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin shares the talents, skills, and human failings of the leaders and Presidents who have formed this nation. Often cited as one of President Obama’s favorite books, Ms. Goodwin’s Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln inspires business and political leaders of today by teaching Lincoln's quiet but powerful leadership qualities-including his wisdom in building and maintaining teams in the midst of critically trying circumstances and his ability to overcome incredible obstacles.
Author of several best-selling books, Ms. Goodwin won the Pulitzer Prize for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II. As well, she penned a touching memoir, Wait Till Next Year, about a love of baseball she shared with her father.
A contributor, both on and off the air, to the PBS documentaries LBJ, The Kennedys, FDR, and Baseball, Doris Kearns Goodwin is the person most turn to for a keen historical perspective on political and current events.
