Answer:

John F. Kennedy has been remembered as a good leader in several ways. He was a famously great public speaker, capable of using great charisma and persuasion to explain his beliefs or win over a rival. He selected experienced politicians and businessmen to help lead him: his Cabinet was often called "the wise men" and Kennedy valued their opinions. He was capable of a calm, determined demeanor that helped him with negotiations, most notably his negotiations with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev about the removal of nuclear missiles from Cuba in 1963, ending the thirteen-day Cuban Missile Crisis.
