Abstract
Many scholars have argued that presidential greatness is both hard to determine and most likely impossible to determine, due to the many personal and institutional factors. Presidential greatness is hard to determine, but Historians and Political Scientists believe that there are certain characteristics that a President must have to aid in his success. Among these characteristics, I found that both Historians and Political Scientists, alike, believe that management ability is possibly one of the most important characteristics a President can have.
