Lincoln on Leadership Executive Strategies for Tough Times Donald T. Phillips

Many consider Abraham Lincoln the greatest US president of all time. He held the presidency from 1861 to 1865, and during that time, guided the Union to victory in the American Civil War and signed the Emancipation Proclamation—a document that began the process of ending chattel slavery in America. But, in Lincoln on Leadership, author Donald T. Phillips doesn’t just focus on what Lincoln did—he also focuses on how he did it.In our guide to Lincoln on Leadership, we’ll explore the main components of Lincoln’s leadership style that Phillips identifies in the book: how he communicated, acted ethically, and made his decisions. We’ll also provide historical context and alternative perspectives on Lincoln and leadership through our commentary.
