Commentary During Books The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency

The first in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the White House Chiefs of Staff, whose actions--and inactions--have defined the course of our country.

What do Dick Cheney and Rahm Emanuel have in common? Aside from polarizing personalities, both served as chief of staff to the president of the United States--as did Donald Rumsfeld, Leon Panetta, and a relative handful of others. The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers," wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and--most crucially--enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world. Each chief can make or break an administration, and each president reveals himself by the chief he picks.

Through extensive, intimate interviews with all seventeen living chiefs and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity. In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history, showing us how James Baker's expert managing of the White House, the press, and Capitol Hill paved the way for the Reagan Revolution--and, conversely, how Watergate, the Iraq War, and even the bungled Obamacare rollout might have been prevented by a more effective chief.

Filled with shrewd analysis and never-before-reported details, The Gatekeepers offers an essential portrait of the toughest job in Washington.

Meeting with staff, Mulvaney brandished "The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency" by @ccwhip, sharing passages about successful management models from past administrations.

In this terrific history of the role of chief of staff in modern American politics and the presidency, Chris Whipple discards bias to take an honest look at how each chief of staff - from Nixon's ruthlessly loyal H.R. Haldeman to Obama's competitive yet self-effacing Denis McDonough - has impacted the presidency and the nation at large, often using anecdotes both humorous and inspirational to accessibly tell each player's story while also refocusing each presidency of the last 50 years through a

I'm interested in how the White House system works, so looked forward to reading this account of how Chiefs of Staff from Nixon to the present handled the flow of information and decisions. There were some engaging insights and the author seems to have had great access to talk to many former occupants of the role. However, while the internal workings of the system are the subject of the book I felt that often more time was taken discussing the external process or events than what the Chief of
