    About this audiobook

    The author of the classic bestseller Lincoln on Leadership answers the question: How would President Lincoln handle the pressing crises of our modern world? Abraham Lincoln is recognized as one of history's finest leaders, a great president when the United States was under tremendous strain. But suppose he were alive today? How would Lincoln deal with today's high-pressure issues, from politics to business? Based on a lifelong study of Lincoln's life, writings, and speeches, best-selling author Donald T. Phillips offers compelling ideas on how Lincoln would employ his exemplary leadership and executive style. How would Lincoln handle today's frayed race relations, terrorism at home and abroad, gun control, and the influence of special interest groups on Congress? What would have been Lincoln's reaction to the invasion of Iraq? How would he have handled the Great Recession? What would be his stance on science and climate change? How did Lincoln feel about government entitlement programs? Would he have them at all? How would he feel about the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots, a worker's right to strike, the minimum wage, and labor unions? Would Lincoln have a mobile phone and embrace the whirl of social media? Phillips hews very closely to Lincoln's extensive writings and records to offer a fascinating look at how we might solve some of our most challenging problems, Lincoln-style.

      Lincoln on Leadership for TodayAbraham Lincoln's Approach to 21st Century IssuesbyDonald T. PhillipsCopyright ©2017 Donald T. PhillipsHoughton, Mifflin Harcourt Publishing, New York308 pages including Notes and BibliographyA very interesting read. It kept me turning the pages, which says a lot for any book these days.Phillips brought Lincoln alive as he tackled the problems of the 1850's until his assassination, and then compared them to nearly identical political, econo-sociological issues of today.Lincoln faced many of the same issues that we are facing today. A country in dissent, a failing economy, and poor foreign relations. And yet, he somehow managed to get this country through a civil war, with a mind frame that we would be reunited and act as a united front against all enemies.By looking at Lincoln, and how he handled many issues of his day, we can readily see how this country can get back on it's feet, and be abundant once more.I will hope our new President of the United States will take the time to read this very fascinating book, and perhaps learn from the lessons that Abraham Lincoln taught us.I rate this book Five Stars and a Big Thumbs up!As well as my Highly Recommended Award.You can find the book available on Amazon.com for pre-publishing purchase. It will be available in both Kindle and hardcover form. DISCLAIMER: This book was provided by Amazon Vine in exchange for affair and impartial review.
