Book Abstract

MAIN IDEA

Abraham Lincoln is consistently rated as the greatest President the United States has ever produced. Despite the fact that it is more than 125 years since his death, his example still motivates and inspires people all around the world.

The one trait that most people generally admire about Lincoln is that he was a great leader. The fact that he held the United States of America together during a bitter Civil War speaks volumes for his abilities as a leader. The principles of leadership which Lincoln practiced allowed him to arise out of that great crisis and set new standards for the heights any leader may aspire to.

Even by modern standards, Lincoln’s accomplishments are impressive. One could do worse than to try and emulate such an excellent example of the power of leadership.
