It is hard to say exactly. Truman showed leadership as an officer in World War I. He was a county judge under Pendergast machine in Kansas City and undoubtedly learned a lot about how to handle people and how politics worked. As a senator his Truman committee saved the country millions.

Truman was decisive. He thought he was right even when the matter was debatable. He understood party politics. He had the common touch. Particularly the rural people and the less educated people related to him. He was not prejudiced . He helped set up Israel as an independent country. He desegregated the military.

What makes Barack Obama a good president of America?

First, it should be noted that this question calls for an opinion. The people who voted for and supported this president certainly do believe he is a good president. But those who did not vote for him and did not support his candidacy believe he has not been a good president. That said, among the reasons why his supporters believe he is a good president are these: he prevented the US economy from going into a Depression, he rescued the auto industry and helped it to return to profitability, he ended the war in Iraq and brought most of the troops home, he expanded health-care to millions of Americans, and he improved America's relationships with many foreign countries that had disliked President Bush.
