The Enablers : How Team Trump Flunked the Pandemic and Failed America

"The COVID-19 pandemic will forever be remembered as a pivotal event in American history. Written by one of the world''s foremost experts on leadership and followership, this book centers on the first six months of the pandemic and the crises that ran rampant.
