Abraham Lincoln on Leadership (1 of 9)
January 29, 2009 – Lincoln on Leadership: Strategies for Tough Times
Best selling author Donald Phillips spoke at the Gerald R. Ford Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at an event organized by the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at Grand Valley State University.

Four more states would secede following the attack on Fort Sumter, taking all federal agencies, forts, and arsenals within their territory.

Phillips examined the diverse leadership abilities that helped Lincoln succeed in tough times, and how they can be applied to our Unique challenges today.
