The author of the bestselling Lincoln on Leadership offers a fresh perspective on President Lincoln’s distinctive management philosophy and applies it to the pressing issues of the present day. Politics, civil rights, war, entitlement programs, federal versus state rights, environmental concerns—these are among the important topics that President Lincoln addressed in his time. How can Lincoln’s methods and wisdom be applied to the issues and conflicts facing America in the twenty-first century? In this engaging and exhaustively researched guidebook, bestselling author Donald T. Phillips offers a sweeping analysis of Lincoln’s leadership style and shows how Lincoln’s example could help forge solutions to the deep fractures in our nation today. ¶ “Convincing…poignant…an intelligent and often moving look at one of the nation’s greatest presidents.” —Publishers Weekly
