Presidential Lightning Rods: The Politics of Blame Avoidance
Richard J. Ellis
Explores the widely discussed but poorly understood phenomenon of presidential ‘lightning rods - cabinet officials who ‘take the heat’ instead of their bosses. The phenomenon is so common that it’s assumed to be an essential item in every president’s managerial toolbox. But, Richard Ellis argues, such assumptions can oversimplify our understanding.
