Focused Hillary read in 5-8 minutes
"Why the Hillary Clinton America Sees isn't the Hillary Colleagues Know
By Ezra Klein
… One way of reading the
Democratic primary is that it pitted an unusually pure male
leadership style against an unusually pure female leadership style.
Sanders is a great talker and a poor relationship builder. Clinton is
a great relationship builder and a poor talker. In this case — the
first time at the presidential level — the female leadership style
won.
… What I’m saying is
that presidential campaigns are built to showcase the stereotypically
male trait of standing in front of a room speaking confidently —
and in ways that are pretty deep, that’s what we expect out of our
presidential candidates. Campaigns built on charismatic oration feel
legitimate in a way that campaigns built on deep relationships do
not.
But
here’s the thing about the particular skills Clinton used to
capture the Democratic nomination: They are very, very relevant to
the work of governing. And they are particularly relevant to the
way Clinton governs." (Emphasis is mine!)
" … In her book Why
Presidents Fail, Brookings scholar Elaine Kamarck argues that
"successful presidential leadership occurs when the president is
able to put together and balance three sets of skills: policy,
communication, and implementation."
The
problem, Kamarck says, is that campaigns are built to test only one
of those skills. “The obsession with communication — presidential
talking and messaging — is a dangerous mirage of the media age, a
delusion that inevitably comes crashing down in the face of
government failure.”
Part
of Kamarck’s argument is that presidential primaries used to be
decided in the proverbial smoke-filled room — a room filled with
political elites who knew the candidates personally, who had worked
with them professionally, who had some sense of how they governed.
It tested “the ability of one politician to form a coalition of
equals in power.”
Hillary Clinton won the
Democratic nomination by forming a coalition. And part of how she
forms coalitions is by listening to her potential partners — both
to figure out what they need and to build her relationships with
them. This is not a skill all politicians possess.
