This study considers the thinking, or “strategy,” that underlies presidential behavior. The findings suggest that, in recent years, presidential strategy has become more complex and that it focuses more on shaping organizational members’ perceptions and attitudes. Changes in presidential strategy may result from changes in the environment or in the presidents themselves as they learn on the job.
