From the state house to the courthouse, in the emergency room and in the classroom, Americans are losing trust in their leaders. In a 2025 U.S. News and World Report survey, 85% of Americans said government leaders care more about their own power than the people they serve. 73% are disappointed in healthcare leaders, 72% in business, and 68% in education. But there are still leaders worth believing in. I'm Eric Gertler, CEO and Executive Chairman of U.S. News and World Report. This is the Best Leaders Podcast, sponsored by the Noble Reach Foundation. On this show, we'll go deeper into the stories, challenges, and lessons of extraordinary leaders across public service, business, healthcare, and education. You can find the Best Leaders podcast from U.S. News and World Report on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.
