Product Description

Review

'Remarkable...a lively and entertaining study that delivers uncommon good sense.'

(USA Today )

'If Lincoln's examples were taken to heart, life undoubtedly would improve up and down the corporate line.'



 

(New York Times )


Product Description

Only ten days before Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office in 1861, the Confederate States of America seceded from the Union taking all federal agencies, forts, and arsenals within their territory. To make matters worse, Lincoln, who was elected by a minority of the popular vote, was viewed by his own advisors as nothing more than a gawky, second-rate country lawyer with no leadership experience.




What Lincoln did to become America's most honored and revered president is history - how he can help you run your organisation is not.

LINCOLN ON LEADERSHIP is the first book to examine Abraham Lincoln's diverse leadership abilities and how they can be applied to today's complex world. You'll discover why you should:



 



Seize the initiative and never relinquish it.



Wage only one war at a time.



Encourage risk taking while providing job security



Avoid issuing orders and instead request, imply, or make suggestions.



Once in a while, let things slip...and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read book for leaders & leaders-to-be., 28 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This book outlines the nuts & bolts of how to lead/manage. It gives general principles and backs them up with detailed examples from Lincoln's life. I wish the author would have gone further in discussing the history surrounding each example. That was a chaotic time in our histroy, more so than today. When you see how Lincoln handled the problems of that time, you'll gain insight about resolving modern-day problems. If the author had given further historical detail, the nature of the problems would be much clearer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Endorsed by Countless Renowned Leaders!, 11 Aug 2009
By Hassans (New Malden, Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LINCOLN ON LEADERSHIP (Hardcover)
This book may impact anyone who is striving to become a cherished leader. After reading this book, I couldn't disagree with the endorsements on the initial pages of the book. The book clearly and intelligently elaborates and matches the examples of Lincoln with today's issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful insights into the life of a great man and leader, 14 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I had bought this book along with a number of others, and it is my nature to read more than one book at a time. This book however was not put down until finished and no other book shared my reading time during that period. Enjoy it and learn from the life of one of the greatest leaders the world has known. The writing style makes you feel that you are actually there during the civil war, contemplating with Abe how to handle a particular situation.
