Dennis M. Powell Biography
Dennis M. Powell is a consultant, thought leader, opinion contributor and author. In his work with organizations over the past 30 years he observed that many were unprepared to manage disruptive issues effectively, because they lacked leaders trained in strategic issues management. Leaders who have the skill to frame issues, develop strategy, align resources, control the narrative and establish tactical agility, so he wrote a book to present these skills in an easy to understand format and use the book to train strategic issues management leaders and teams.
"Leading from the Top: Presidential Lessons in Issues Management," examines one issue managed by each of the last 15 presidents and assesses management success or failure through the lens of issues management consulting best practices. It then provides 10 – 15 lessons a leader can learn from the historical narrative presented in each chapter.
Mr. Powell has shared his expertise and insights with national and statewide organizations as a speaker on issues management leadership. He is an opinion contributor at The Messenger, The Hill and InsideSources where he focuses on political and social trends that shape issues, and he has hosted a nationally syndicated radio program on leadership.

Dennis M. Powell Speaking Topics
This program is designed to enhance the skills of senior leaders and to provide a path to acquire these strategic skills for the aspiring leader. It draws from the lessons depicted in our study of the last 15 presidents of the United States as issues managers and applied to events that were reported on the news today. The concept of issues management can be broken down into one term – anticipate. This presentation uses historical narratives to show how 15 men, elected to the highest office, managing the most complex issues, with access to limitless resources and under the most intense scrutiny succeeded or failed at issues management and the lessons today’s leaders can learn and apply from their experiences.
- Why was it so important for Franklin Roosevelt to ask permission before undertaking the New Deal?
- What skills are required to manage a large issue into a manageable problem as Dwight Eisenhower did with integration of schools in Little Rock, AR?
- Why did John F. Kennedy not get blamed for the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion?
- What mistake in issues management was shared by Gerald Ford and Joe Biden?
- What did Bush 41 do and Bush 43 fail to do in managing wars? This program concludes with the application of issues management principle to current events. An example is: “Why did Penn Win and Harvard Lose” after the testimony of their presidents before congress.
This program is designed to enhance the skills of senior leaders and to provide a path to acquire these strategic skills for the aspiring leader. It draws on lessons provided in my book and also from current events to demonstrate how these skills were strategically applied or not applied in the management of issues.

- See clearly

This program is designed to enhance the skills of senior leaders and to provide a path to acquire these strategic skills for the aspiring leader. It draws on lessons provided in my book and from current events to demonstrate talk about the factors that cause disruption and shape issues. The key to this talk is stressing the need for the issues management leader to have a 360-degree assessment of the internal and external environment.
The factors include:
- Internal decision
- External event
- Cultural misstep
- Certainty
- Shifts in thinking
- Global event
- Social disorder
- Political division
- Economic disparity
- Challenging the world order
- Reordering of values
Examples of each will be provided.
- How did the decision to expand Bud Light marketing disrupt the brand?
- Why did the mis-framing of campus protests cost two university presidents their jobs?
- How does scientific consensus narrow an organization’s options to solve problems?
- How did a shift in thinking about criminal justice impact retail stores?
