In what James A. Baker III has called the -worst job in Washington, - the chief of staff orchestrates the president's conduct of the U.S. government. In this volume, resulting from the Washington Forum on the Role of the White House Chief of Staff, twelve of the fifteen men who have held the office frankly discuss the challenges, achievements, and failures of their time in that role. Their purpose is to find lessons in governing that will help future chiefs of staff prepare to assume the office and organize the staffs they will lead.
