PRESIDENTS: Characteristics of the best

The United States has had 46 presidents since George Washington took office in 1789. With presidential elections coming up soon, it is wise to go back in time and document the positive characteristics of the best presidents who served the United States. I have listed some of the most important positive attributes of our past presidents.

1. The ability to delegate power and responsibility

2. Military experience

3. Strong communication skills, including the ability to listen

4. Empathy

5. Great knowledge of world history

6. Compassion
