Through this honor, Hudson Institute seeks to highlight the all-too-rare qualities of extraordinary leadership. These include moral courage; dynamism and a capacity to inspire; comprehension of changing political and technological landscapes; and the foresight and strategic vision necessary to secure the vital interests of our nation and its allies.
