In a time of deep division between North and South as well as devision within both political parties, President Lincoln’s success in holding the country together is most attributable to his humility and ability to appeal to man’s better nature. It gave a minority president a landslide victory for his second term.
Though a skillful and shrewd politician he put country ahead of politics. Sadly the current administration has put politics and worse, ideology, ahead of country. We are more divided as a country than ever. Winning the 2004 election rquired the appeal to man’s baser nature and fears.
There is a used copy of LINCOLN ON LEADERSHIP available on Amazon.com that is signed by the author and given to Pres. Bush. It is too bad that the presicent did not read and heed this book!

After reading this book, I have developed an entirely new appreciation for Abraham Lincoln. While always believing him to be one of the greatest leaders of the country, I never really grasped why he was a great leader until now. Phillips does a superb job here of gleaning Lincoln’s leadership principles from the many details available regarding the 16th president’s life.
I’ve now become an even greater fan of Lincoln, and plan to learn more about this man who was such an extraordinary American leader in such extraordinary difficult times. Through Lincoln’s life in general and this title in particular, leaders of all varieties can find renewed insight and inspiration.

I found the book to be very well written and laid out. Not only were examples of Lincolns leadership given but, it also highlighted some key principles at the end of each chapter for all to follow. Great read with examples and principles Lincolns used.

It’s been reported that Bill Clinton treated this book as his political Bible. But don’t let that discourage you (this book was recommended to me by former Christian Coalition leader, Ralph Reed). Abraham Lincoln overcame much to become what most historians regard as our “greatest President.” For me, the best part of this book was learning how he managed and motivated his generals to action. You can learn a lot from “Honest Abe.”
