Abstract

Opinions and evaluations of Johnson's leadership vary greatly, One generalization on which all authors tend to agree is that Johnson was a master politician. His power technique will be the topic under investigation. This power technique will be examined from the perspectives of contemporary authors. The study will answer the following questions: (1) What do contemporary authors say were Lyndon Baines Johnson's power techniques for winning legislative support? (2) What do contemporary authors say were Johnson's power techniques for handling his staff?
