1. Lincoln on Leadership: Executive Strategies for Tough
Times (Unabridged)
In this remarkable book, hailed by CEOs, politicians, coaches, and college presidents
alike, Donald T. Phillips examines Lincoln's effective leadership style. As he explores
the President's diverse management skills, he demonstrates how you can succeed
with them in today's complex world. When Lincoln took the oath of office in 1861, the
Confederate States had already seceded from the Union. Even though his own
advisers expected him to fail, he eventually reunited the embattled states with
uncommon good sense. Using historical anecdotes, speeches, and Lincoln's own
letters, the author shares the President's practical managerial strategies: seize the
initiative, wage only one war at a time, encourage risk-taking while promoting job
security, circulate among the troops, and more. With this compelling portrait, Donald
T. Phillips reveals Lincoln as one of the world's most outstanding leaders. Nelson
Runger's thought-provoking narration will motivate you to influence others in the same
quiet way.
