Online Lecture: Founding Fathers — Lincoln’s Life & Legacy

While most leaders may display a unique style, there is much to learn from Abraham Lincoln. For example, he used humor and storytelling to great effect. He understood when to criticize and when to hold his fire. Lincoln worked deliberately and he skillfully utilized various tools of persuasion. Perhaps most important of all, “Honest Abe” was not afraid to change his mind. Join Louis Masur, Author and Professor, for the first in a series of three lectures on our Founding Fathers. Part one is a thought-provoking examination of Abraham Lincoln’s life and leadership.
