About this listen

In American historical rankings, Washington is consistently regarded as one of the nation’s greatest presidents and leaders. He had neither the scholarly intellect of a Jefferson nor the fiery oratory of a Patrick Henry, but what he brought were extraordinary leadership qualities: integrity, patience, judgment, and a profound sense of responsibility. He often led by example. He embodied the values of the new republic – honesty, duty, and moderation – and in doing so, he became a unifying symbol for a diverse, young nation.
