In 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln wrote a scathing letter to his top Union general, who had squandered an opportunity to end the American Civil War. Then Lincoln folded it up and tucked it away in his desk. He never sent the letter-just one example of how Lincoln's legendary emotional discipline enabled him to rise above mundane arguments and focus on a larger mission.
Using Lincoln as a model, you'll learn how to communicate values to those you lead. You'll also learn how emotional self-control can impact your day-to-day leadership, as well as your long-term legacy.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.
The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land will yet swell the course of the Union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.
