Incremental v Transformational Leadership Exemplified in the Stimulus Package
President Obama’s 787 billion dollar economic stimulus package is an important step forward. It shores up, pumps us, cheers up. It’s going to give relief to many low-and moderate-income families and help states avert drastic shortfalls in their budgets while saving major institutions. These are not small matters.

Barack Obama was swept into office in large part because voters saw him as a visionary who could transform and take the nation to qualitatively greater heights. Read more thoughts on why good enough is on for now, but not transformational leadership.
