Title: Lincoln as an business leader
Product review: Donald Phillips is not what you would call an exciting writer, but in this book, he has accomplished the key point the was trying to make--to demonstrate how our 16th President used his considerable leadership abilities to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to win the Civil War. The advice that follows in often counter intuitive to most executives who are stuck in their ivory towers and try to rule benevolently from there. The book sites examples from Lincon's life to demonstrate these rules. While a good read, some of the rules seemed to be a bit straigned, and I was left wondering if these would apply in every situation. That said, it was great to learn more about Lincoln's approach to leadership.
