Discuss President Kennedy's leadership style and evaluate his success in achieving the goals of his New Frontier program before his assassination
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Kennedy advocated strong leadership reminiscent of Franklin Roosevelt. He relied on expert advisers, supported civil rights, called for stimulation of the economy, expansion of social welfare programs, and support of the space program. He was not too effective in obtaining congressional support for civil rights legislation or his social welfare programs. He failed to get much of his economic program through Congress and came into confrontation with corporate leaders. He successfully launched a space program.
