To make matters worse, Lincoln, who was elected by a minority of the popular vote, was thought of by his <i>own</i> advisors as nothing more than a gawky second-rate country lawyer with no leadership experience. <p/>What Lincoln did to become our most honored and revered president is history; now his wisdom and leadership philosophy can help you run your business. In <i>Lincoln on Leadership</i> you'll discover why you should: <br><ul><li>Seize the initiative and never relinquish it.</li><li>Wage only one war at a time.</li><li>Avoid issuing order and instead request, imply, or make suggestions.</li><li>Once in a while, let things slip, unbeknownst-like</li><li>... and much much more.</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>If Lincoln's examples were taken to heart, life undoubtedly would improve up and down the corporate line.--<i><b>New York Times</b></i><br><br>Remarkable...a lively and entertaining study that delivers uncommon good sense.--<i><b>USA Today</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Donald T.
