- "Presidential Performance in the Progressive Era: Leadership Style from McKinley to Wilson continues Fred I. Greenstein's multivolume Presidential Difference Project. It follows Greenstein's matrix for evaluating presidential leadership: (1) public communication; (2) organizational capacity; (3) political skill and the extent to which it is harnessed to a (4) policy vision; (5) cognitive style; and (6) emotional intelligence.

In the final chapter, the authors compare and contrast the four presidents as to each of the six criteria in the matrix"--
