A leadership vacuum, by L. Douglas Wilder
The Wilder School at Virginia Commonwealth University recently held a symposium, led by Wilder School Dean Susan T. Gooden. The subject was “Elections 2024: The Importance of Listening to the People.” Panelists included: Bob Holsworth, managing partner of the consulting firm DecideSmart and founding director of the Wilder School; Larry Sabato, founder and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics; Dr. Susan Gooden; and Robyn McDougle, associate dean of research and outreach at the Wilder School. They collectively laid out the most vital issues and challenges of the people. The responses from the packed audience demonstrated the need for further discussion regarding an absence of leadership in public service.
