As Potential Leader, Biden Ranked Least Qualified; Palin Tops Obama

Sept. 9, 2008 - PRLog -- Barack Obama may have fewer years in the Senate than his running mate, but according to a top Leadership Development website, he possesses better leadership skills than Joe Biden. Unfortunately for Obama, he ranks below both John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Over the past several days, the editors of AskTheManager.com released their leadership ratings and rankings of all forty-two US Presidents from Washington to Bush. Because the site is dedicated to business leadership, they examined how these men would perform as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company using some of the most important leadership characteristics: humility; delegation; integrity; vision; success during their term; and impact on future generations.

As we grow closer to the November 4, 2008 Presidential Election, the real question for America is where would Obama, McCain, Biden and Palin rank on a list like this? Where would each Presidential candidate or their running mate rank in terms of business leadership in the new millennium? Could he or she successfully run a large corporation today? Do they have what it takes to be a true leader, or are they more concerned about themselves and their legacy?

More importantly, will their decisions be sound and founded on unwavering principles, or will they constantly be swayed by the winds of political expediency and public opinion?

To view the complete rankings, ratings and final scores of each of the four candidates, please visit AskTheManager.com.
