talented leaders to develop, promote, and execute those public
policies.
In a two- to three page paper (not including the title and

the most important in the creation of sound public policies.
Some questions to consider are: does a leader’s educational
background matter significantly in providing leadership in the
policy making process? Do leaders need to have a military
background in order to execute successful policies involving the
armed forces?
Is it necessary for strong leaders in the policy making arena to
have traveled widely and to have had significant foreign policy
experience?
In addition, you may wish to illustrate your points by
identifying specific past or current leaders (e.g., Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt,
Ronald Reagan) in public policy who exemplify the traits you
feel are the most important in public policy leadership.
Be sure to justify your selections by connecting the leaders you
