Robin Gerber is a powerful speaker, best-selling author and historian. She has appeared on the History Channel and Biography Channel, as well as The PBS Newshour, CBS and FOX. Her articles have appeared in USAToday, the Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer and numerous other newspapers and magazines. Robin has been Senior Faculty for the Institute for Management Studies where she taught her popular course on Authentic Leadership. She is a former Senior Fellow at the Gallup Organization, and at the James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership. Robin is the author of the bestseller, Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way: Timeless Strategies from the First Lady of Courage. Robin's book Katharine Graham: The Leadership Journey of an American Icon, explores the life of the legendary publisher of The Washington Post newspaper. Derived from a Kirkus review: An analysis of key factors and events in Graham's remarkable transition from acquiescent wife and mother to stalwart CEO of the Washington Post. Graham had been born to wealth and position, but in 1963, Philip Graham committed suicide. It was at this point that Graham's true character emerged and she made the decision to take on her husband's role and build a profitable media business fully consistent with her father's vision of journalism. Much of the story addresses the initial sniping by male associates and media critics, the tension of remolding the staff by bringing in outsider Ben Bradlee as managing editor, the drama of knowingly defying Presidents Johnson and Nixon in publishing the Pentagon Papers and then doggedly pursuing Watergate. Gerber's rendition provides additional insights into the evolution of Graham's management methodology, particularly regarding key consultations that preceded tough decisions she inevitably made on her own.
