Rating: Summary: One of the Best Books Ever for Learning to Deal With People Review: Unquestionably, this is one of the best books ever written to teach the art of "learning to deal with people". An inspiring and uplifting book that provides the very best of what this great human was all about. Humorous and heartwarming, each chapter teaches the reader about practical people skills and does so using time tested successes that truly work. Lincoln understood that "people are all the same wherever you go". No matter what country, age, or race, all people have the same needs, desires and motivations. Lincoln understood this principle better than anyone did. From humble roots, A. Lincoln was tireless in his lifelong quest to excel by being: excellent in study, resilient and magnanimous in defeat, courageous in battle, brave in the face of danger, and sharing of praise in victory. An American to look up to, this outstanding patriot and humanitarian is from the other side of the "final battle" still even today teaching us to "do to others as we would have others do to us".

Rating: Summary: Challenging Review: What a unique and future thinking approach to history and leadership studies. This author took something that did not exist and made it happen, and it is actually useful. I work in the field of Leadership Identification and Development and I would recommend this book to any leadership professional who wishes to expand their current knowledge base on leadership models. This book is also great for anyone in the workforce who wants to step out and lead. I think the unique part of this book is that it looks at a leader who made it through one of the toughest experiences in the history of the world, and how Lincoln got through the tough times. You will not be dissapointed with this book.
Rating: Summary: The finest book on leadership I've ever read Review: When you consider the almost insurmountable odds Mr. Lincoln faced even before his inauguration, it is amazing that he was able to pull our country back together. If he had not been successful, we would have a different country than we do today. I believe this book should be required reading for every office and classroom today.
