Course Description:

Abraham Lincoln used his leadership skills to win the Civil War, abolish slavery and preserve a nation. While most leaders may display a unique style, there is much to learn from Abraham Lincoln. He used humor and storytelling to great effect. He understood when to criticize and when to hold his fire. He worked deliberately, skillfully utilizing various tools of persuasion. Perhaps most important of all, he was not afraid to change his mind. By studying and understanding Lincoln, we emerge better equipped to think about how to handle conflict and controversy in our own affairs.
