 President Joe Robinette Biden Jr., the 46th President of the United States, is leading the most progressive transformation of American government since the 1960s. He also leads the most diverse cabinet of advisors in U.S. history. This has led many to wonder what it takes to successfully build bridges across racial, gender, and other divides.

Bestselling leadership author, Jeffrey Krames brings his insightful perspective delivering critical and impactful leadership secrets from successful leaders in modern history to his new book, THE JOE BIDEN WAY: How to Become a Bold and Empathic Leader (WILEY, December 2, 2021). Drawing on his experience studying the styles of military, corporate, and spiritual giants like Jack Welch, Peter Drucker and Pope Francis, he gleans seven lessons for executives, managers, and other business leaders.

THE JOE BIDEN WAY explains what the leaders of any diverse group of people need to do to boost performance and productivity in a rapidly changing world. Touching on themes that have come to define the Biden presidency—overcoming adversity, embracing diversity, and demonstrating competence—Krames uses Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers to explain early successes and the role of experience in his presidency.
