Lincoln Stories for Leaders
Influencing Others through Storytelling
by Donald T. Phillips
Abraham Lincoln was the original Great Communicator. He had an extraordinary ability to weave into almost any conversation an anecdote or story that made his point more effectively than simple facts and figures. With homespun humor and common-sense, his stories served to persuade, inspire, chastise, commend, and motivate those around him throughout his presidency.Lincoln's use of humor as a leadership tool is still an effective model for today's leaders who recognize the advantages of appealing to emotion as well as to intellect. Lincoln Stories for Leaders presents many of the president's best parables, organized for quick reference under both general and specific topics.
If a picture can speak a thousand words, a good story can speak volumes, and a story told by Abraham Lincoln speaks to the ages. Whether you command a corporation, a classroom, or a carpool, these timeless truths will help you interact gracefully and persuasively with those who look to you for leadership.
