The American Civil War was arguably one of the most chaotic periods in history. Yet through it all, Abraham Lincoln managed to keep the Union together and victorious. Here in this fascinating and invaluable book, Donald T. Phillips reveals the strategies and tactics Lincoln employed, and offers ways that that politicians and executives can use those same strategies to make their businesses successful in these tough economic times.
A unique guide merging history and business, showing how the time-tested strategies that Abraham Lincoln used in keeping the Union intact can be used today by executives who need to keep their organizations on the path to success.
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy
present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise
with the occasion. As our case is new, we must think anew, and act
anew.
