Lincoln on Leadership:

Executive Strategies for Tough Times & Generational Differences

This brief but astutely discerning book provides an honest examination of the leadership tools President Abraham Lincoln used to save the Union, to encourage and rally the troops left wearied by battle and personal loss, to end a ravaging war wrought with tremendous upheaval and emotional conflict, to preserve the Union, and to reunite a broken nation. His leadership challenges were no less difficult & disparaging than those currently facing Police Chiefs, Sheriffs, and their Command Staff.

Synopsis:  This Command/Supervision course (from Donald T. Phillips text Lincoln on Leadership) covers Abraham Lincoln’s four leadership cores while president that he used to reunite a broken nation at war:

  1. Lincoln’s strategies with people who were his enemies
  2. His steadfast unflinching character & integrity under fire
  3. His strategic methods for building morale, trust, & hope in his leaders & troops
  4. His earthy genuine methods for communicating, building rapport, & telling the truth.

The cores are paralleled to current events facing law enforcement leadership.
