About this Quote

This quote by Harry S. Truman speaks with the distinctions in between the Democratic and Republican celebrations. In the Democratic Party, a leader is seen as a boss, somebody who is in charge and makes choices. In the Republican Party, a leader is seen as someone who is appreciated and followed, but not necessarily in charge. This speaks to the various approaches each party requires to management. The Democratic Party is more likely to have a hierarchical structure, with a leader at the top making choices for the remainder of the celebration. The Republican Party is most likely to have a more collaborative approach, with the leader being seen as a figurehead who is respected and followed, however not always in charge. This quote highlights the differences in between the two parties and their techniques to leadership.
