A recent New York Times article by Peter Baker discusses a new museum that has opened in honor of former President George W. Bush. The major theme of this museum is the array of struggles that Presidential leaders face in making decisions. However, the magnitude of the decisions the former President faced are not your everyday managerial issues. As the article puts it: "Invade Iraq or leave Saddam Hussein in power? Deploy federal troops after Hurricane Katrina or rely on local forces? Bail out Wall Street or let the banks fail?" At this interactive museum, guests are faced with hypothetical exercises such as these and asked how they would respond. As someone very interested in politics (and not the biggest admirer of the the former President), I would really enjoy visiting this museum and facing these dilemmas myself (hypothetically, of course). You can learn more about this interactive museum model here.
