“Two hundred years ago, when the Founding Fathers gathered in Philadelphia to write the Constitution, America had a population of only 3 million, yet six world-class leaders were among the authors of that extraordinary document. Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Adams, and Franklin created America. Today, there are 288 million Americans and we wonder, every four years, why we can’t find at least two superb candidates for the nation’s highest office.”
– Warren Bennis, On Becoming a Leader
