Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger on Making a Difference

Do you think the pilot who safely landed that plane on the Hudson River knows something about leadership? So do we. Captain “Sully” follows up his bestselling memoir with a book about leadership, Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage from America’s Leaders (William Morrow, May 15). Capt. Sullenberger didn’t just rely on his own experiences, he talked to men and women who have had in impact in different fields, including baseball manager Tony LaRussa; former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm; Michelle Rhee, who founded the New Teacher Project and many others. He shares with us the common denominators of successful leaders as well as the different styles that can yield results. BILL BRATTON, the onetime NYPD Commissioner and LAPD chief and one of the people in the book, joins Sullenberger for this talk.
