  • JAMES A. BAKER, III the Case for Pragmatic Idealism Is Based on an Optimis- Tic View of Man, Tempered by Our Knowledge of Human Imperfection
    Extract from Raising the Bar: The Crucial Role of the Lawyer in Society, by Talmage Boston. © State Bar of Texas 2012. Available to order at texasbarbooks.net. TWO MOST IMPORTANT LAWYERS OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS 67 concluded his Watergate memoirs, The Right and the Power, with these words that summarize his ultimate triumph in “raising the bar”: From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known: our Constitution works. And during the Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one—absolutely no one—is above the law.29 JAMES A. BAKER, III The case for pragmatic idealism is based on an optimis- tic view of man, tempered by our knowledge of human imperfection. It promises no easy answers or quick fixes. But I am convinced that it offers our surest guide and best hope for navigating our great country safely through this precarious period of opportunity and risk in world affairs.30 In their historic careers, Leon Jaworski and James A. Baker, III, ended up in the same place—the highest level of achievement in their respective fields as lawyers—though they didn’t start from the same place. Leonidas Jaworski entered the world in 1905 as the son of Joseph Jaworski, a German-speaking Polish immigrant, who went through Ellis Island two years before Leon’s birth and made a modest living as an evangelical pastor leading small churches in Central Texas towns. James A. Baker, III, entered the world in 1930 as the son, grand- son, and great-grandson of distinguished lawyers all named James A.

  • The Art of Compromise 1
    LFCG 21 The Art of Compromise 1" RICHARD: This episode is about the power of compromise and why that can be crucial to making progress. It's a style of leadership and decision-making that runs counter to much of what we see in Washington today. We discuss the remarkable career of James Baker, a man who was never elected to any major post but was right at the center of American power for three decades.#$ This is Let's Find Common Ground from Common Ground Committee. I'm Richard Davies.$ ASHLEY: And I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte. James Baker had a remarkable career, Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, and White House Chief of Sta% twice. He helped end the Cold War and reunify Germany. Baker assembled the International Coalition to Fight the Gulf War, negotiated a rewrite of the U.S. tax code, and ran five presidential campaigns.#$ RICHARD: In the words of a new book, he was "the man who ran Washington." That book's coauthors, Peter Baker, no relation to the man he writes about, and his wife, Susan Glasser.#$ ASHLEY: Susan is Sta% Correspondent for The New Yorker, and she writes a weekly Letter from Washington for the magazine.$ RICHARD: Peter is Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times. Our first question goes to Susan. Why is it worth learning about Jim Baker now as a new administration is about to begin?$ SUSAN: Because his story is the story of Washington at a very di%erent moment, at a moment not only when Washington ran the world but also when it was forced to function in a di%erent way.

  • Leadership Development for Private Clubs: Ways to Achieve Exceptional Board Practices
    Leadership Development for Private Clubs: Ways to Achieve Exceptional Board Practices Successful leaders often share several key traits: they provide direction and meaning; they generate and sustain trust; they show a willingness to take action; and they encourage others to work toward achieving a common goal. These attributes often involve recognizing and pursuing best practices -- for the good of the whole. This program highlights key content from NCA's Board Leadership Institute, which is supported by the NCA Foundation. It addresses leadership traits that encourage sound and effective club governance, topics to address in board orientations, and the importance of strategic planning and risk management. The program also highlights the ways in which effective board leaders can significantly impact the level of a club’s achievements. Panelists: Dan M.
