PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT by ThEME

Warren Bennis: At Roosevelt’s funeral, on April 13th or 14th 1945, you could imagine the throngs on Constitution Avenue and when the—President Roosevelt’s actual hearse was a long cortège, and finally, there is the hearse, drawn carriage.

So right as the hearse passes, a middle aged well dressed man falls to his knees and began just sobbing, just sobbing, and couldn't stop. He finally gets kind of—gets himself back in shape, stands up and the man next to him a stranger said, “Did you know the person?” And he said, “No, but he knew me.” And what could be more important as a leader, Frances?

Frances Hesselbein: To be heard.

WB: To be heard. To be heard, that's another title of a book.

FRH: Yes, we'll be busy!
