MURDER, POLITICS, AND THE END OF THE JAZZ AGE
by Michael Wolraich
Sam Bacharach was my organizational behavior professor in my first semester at Cornell in the fall of 1977. The guy is ageless, or else I'm catching up with him. In any event, he's the guy who first exposed me to folks like Durkheim and Marx and Weber, and more often than not I had no friggin' idea what I was reading or what Bacharach was talking about. Here's an interesting take by the ageless professor that was emailed to me on the leadership qualities that propelled Obama to victory in 2012 (pragmatism), as compared to those qualities (dazzle) that propelled him to victory in 2008. It's actually written in a way that even this mook was able to understand it.
