Priorities for the Next President

Abstract: 

Law School Dean Christopher Edley Jr. outlines the pressing challenges facing the incoming U.S. president.

Leadership is not just about making a calculation of how to adopt the best possible policy within the envelope of the politics of the moment. Leadership is also about trying to influence the way the public understands and empathizes so that you can change that political envelope and make different solutions possible.
