Everyone is talking about leadership.
Political leaders, business leaders, who leads and who follows, where our future leaders will come from — all are crucial issues, in Westport, the nation and the world.
No one knows more about leadership than Barbara Kellerman. The longtime Westport resident was the founding executive director of the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School. She served on its faculty for over 20 years, after teaching at other schools including George Washington, Dartmouth and Maryland.
Professor Kellerman was awarded 3 Fulbright Fellowships, authored numerous books, has written for the New York Times and Washington Post, appears regularly on TV, and has lectured all over the world.
Yesterday, she and I chatted on the Westport Library stage. Our conversation about leadership ranged far and wide, from the US presidency and British government to why Westporters have become so rude to our leaders (who are also our neighbors).

Great podcast!
Thanks for posting Dr Kellerman’s and your thoughts!!
As Dr Kellerman said- the hard core followers and social media determine the leaders we get. Depending on ones perspective- we are either going to heaven or hell in our next presidential election- and maybe both at the same time!!
