  • In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries
    In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries by John C. Koehler A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Approved by Gerard S. Gryski, Chair, Curtis O. Liles Professor Emeritus of Political Science Cynthia Bowling, Professor of Political Science Linda Dennard, Professor of Political Science William Franko, Assistant Professor of Political Science Abstract Scholars today recognize weaknesses in the president’s ability to pass significant legislation. I ask how presidents can increase their overall influence. They must look internally at their management style and the organization of the Executive Branch. They must also improve their relationship with other political actors, namely Congress and interest groups. Several studies have looked at presidential organization focusing on White House staff and other parts of the Executive Office of the President, such as the Office of Management and Budgeting. I suggest that cabinet secretaries are an overlooked presidential resource. How helpful a resource are cabinet secretaries and how can they be utilized? It depends upon a president’s management style – their level of involvement and the level of clarity with which they give direction. This study provides a typology of four different managerial approaches of modern presidents and analyzes four cases to highlight the importance of cooperation and coordination with Executive Department heads in policy-making. I conclude that secretaries can help the president influence Congress and interest groups. The working relationship that the president has with their cabinet members affects how an administration makes decisions, which proposals it supports, as well as the legislative success of those proposals.

Thank you, Mr. Zarb, for joining us. Frank Zarb [Unintelligible] . Timothy Naftali Let me ask you -- tell me about how you were recruited by Frank Malek for the Department of Labor. Frank Zarb It was a funny story, since I was working -- running a back office for a very small investment firm with Sandy Weill. I had a call one day from a guy who said, "I'm Fred Malek, and I work for the White House." And I said to him, "I'm not sure who you are, but you've got to be full of shit." That's exactly what I told him, and I started to hang up, and he said, "Don't hang up, call me back." So I called him back, and sure enough, it was the White House switchboard. And he had -- unclear, this point is unclear, but he had a copy of "Fortune" magazine, and "Fortune" magazine had done a story on a transaction that we, the firm, had done with Sandy Weill, and had a little piece on my work as running the inside of the transaction, the back office, and the consolidation.
