Lincoln on Leadership: Executive Strategies for Tough Times Audiobook

" The book is just decent. I would not say this is a "must read" by any means. If you want a leadership book, I would look first to John C. Maxwell, then Kenneth Blancard. Read all their books, and if you really just like the subject of leadership and Lincoln, give this a shot. "

" 3.5. Good points, but author using Lincoln to sell his opinions "

" I've read a lot of books on management and leadership, this is one of the best "

" This is one I wish I had read instead of listened to. I loved learning more about Lincoln and his character and leadership. If I had read the paper copy I would have been underlining as I went. "

" Pretty good...I enjoyed it but it didn't engross me. "

" So far, this is a really well written book. It ties in examples of Lincoln's leadership with modern management principles "

" Insightful and very entertaining. "

" The bits on Leadership were good, but not amazing. What I liked about this book, though, was the information about Lincoln. It gave quite a bit of info about his leadership style, using examples from his life. "

" Reading about Lincoln's tactics for running our nation are inspiring and enlightening. We as Americans are more oblivious of what he did for our nation than we gather. "

" A good summary of a lot of the principles that made Lincoln a great leader, but after I read Goodwin's excellent biography it just seemed superficial and poorly written. However, I still feel it is valuable as an easy read that points out a lot of great pieces of Lincoln's character. "

" If it was good enough for Bill Clinton dog gone-it it was good enough for me! I really liked it-- a heck of a lot more entertaining than Covey's 7 habits. "

" We picked this book up after a trip to the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois. I'm sure I enjoyed it because I had just been immersed in Lincoln's life from that trip. I will probably recommend it for my Project Management students this coming fall. "

" This book is a must read for everyone. This is part history lesson, part leadership...and overall great read. "

" Awesome...What a great man! I learned so much about being a good manager, leader and person. "

" You know what? I suck at reviews. If you want to be an actual leader, read this. Good enough? "

" Great book on Lincoln's Leadership. Easy to read and interesting insights into Lincoln's life and Presidency. "

" Explores the leaadership style and techniques of Abraham Lincoln. He was able to include members of both parties in his cabinet and get laws passed that sey aside Constitutional rights and also some that affected slavery. "

" A must read for leadership skills. "

" What a wonderful understanding of Lincoln's life and the way he ran our country! I would give anything to have a man like him - or even close to him - becoming our President again! It is an excellent business book and a warm fuzzy about Lincoln all at the same time! "

" This was a great little book! "

" This book was alright, but not spectacular. The historical part was really interesting, but that was not the focus of the book. "

" Excellent book that seems almost as though it is written by Lincoln himself. Has many leadership techniques applicable for today's leaders, def recommend. "

" A great read for anyone looking to be inspired to lead. Some amazing stuff in this book about Lincoln's methods of getting people to follow him. Amazing how these things translate to modern times. "

" Was assigned to read this as a part of my Master's program. Well worth the time. Highly recommended for anyone involved in leadership or who desires to be a better leader. "

" Most important thing learned: say good morning to your staff. "

" I had to read this book in my senior year of HS in JROTC. Loved it "

" This one didn't really teach anything that a leader who is somewhat good at their job doesn't already know. But it was interesting to read about Lincoln. "
