Launched in November 2019, The American Leader provides an unrelenting spotlight on the systemic problems that shape our lives, the progress being made to solve them, and the deep bench of leaders in politics, business, and our own communities whose bold efforts seek to bring about those solutions. Our model is removed from the demands of the daily stream of headlines and tweets and the sway of the newsmakers and influencers of the day, making The American Leader less vulnerable to the partisan distortions, speculations, and confusion often found in our daily news feeds. What surfaces only occasionally in traditional news media can be found here, 24/7. Founded on guiding principles that address bias, common purpose, problem-solving, priority identification, accountability, and the search for truth, The American Leader reports on the nation's problems through the lens of problem-solving rather than the often-competing-but-unstated priorities of partisan interests. The website links problem briefs, progress updates, and leader profiles in a kind of evidence-based knowledge network that also includes storylines that provide historical context and third party tools and resources that offer a wide range of options for concerned citizens to engage in the civic affairs of the nation at the local, state, and national levels, as however they choose. Designed to neutralize the partisanship around these issues and inspire greater citizenship, The American Leader seeks to be the go-to resource for Americans who want to keep up with the nation's deepest problems and the efforts being made to resolve them.
