Leadership Tip
Lessons from Lincoln
President Lincoln has been
a role model for President Obama.
When asked what he has learned
from studying the Civil War leader,
Obama said that Lincoln has taught him
to keep learning and not to be afraid
of making a mistake.
Obama said that Lincoln
constantly learned on the job.
He was not arrogant and
did not get defensive.
Lincoln trained himself in various subjects
to make the best decisions possible.
As leaders, we do not always
have to be the experts.
We must possess the capacity and
willingness to learn from others.
We need the strength and confidence
to surround ourselves with others who
can educate us and share ideas openly.
Being open and putting aside
any arrogance or defensiveness
can help in the learning
and decision making process.
Lincoln's lessons are good to remember.
We can all apply them.
