Presentation:
This is about the importance of leadership… in a book by Donald T. Phillips titled "Lincoln on Leadership For Today” we read an author who is an expert on Abe Lincoln’s life and leadership.  The author looks at the issues that President Lincoln faced and the decisions he made, and then lists the challenges that America faces today and the probable conclusions that Lincoln would apply.  And by studying Lincoln’s life, along with his words and actions in the context of history, we can learn from the remarkably moral and ethical life he led.
