Margaret MacMillan: How Leaders Master the Art of Persuasion Ep. 2 | The Art of Leading | CBC

Without the ability to persuade others, a leader just isn't going to be able to lead. Explore how historical greats like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Canada's William Lyon Mackenzie King learned to bend others to their will.

Renowned historian Margaret MacMillan steps away from the lectern and pops up onscreen as her recent CBC Massey Lectures, and her book "History's People," are transformed into "The Art of Leading." Follow along as she puts politicians and historical figures under the microscope in this six-part video series!
