February 2019 Lunch & Learn Presenter: John McManus Title: "Echoes of Grant: The Second World War Leadership of Dwight Eisenhower" John McManus presents "Echoes of Grant: The Second World War Leadership of Dwight Eisenhower" as part of the Eisenhower’s Middle Road speaker series. They led in different eras, but the parallels between Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower are striking. Both men were successful army commanders in high-stakes conflicts and then president, with deep convictions about racial equity and a determination to avoid war despite their military backgrounds. Eisenhower, in fact, greatly admired Grant, studying everything from his leadership style to his personality traits and scouring Grant's memoirs for lessons he could apply to the battlefield.
