Everyone remembers Abraham Lincoln as one of our great Presidents, a man who led us through one of the most trying times in our country’s history. But knowing that, have you ever stopped to ask yourself what exactly about Lincoln made him capable of such success?  In this episode of Leveraging Leadership, host Emily Sander gives us all a little history lesson on Lincoln and the five key traits or skills he possessed that made him such an exceptional leader. From the self-assured nature that allowed him to invite political rivals into his cabinet, to the vision he had for the country and how he was able to always move things towards it, there is a lot to be learned about leadership from Honest Abe that is still just as profound and applicable today. The book Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin can be found here. – – – – –  Introduction (00:00)Being Humble and Self-Assured (01:14)Self-Deprecating Humor (05:04)Master of Words (09:13)Empathy for All (13:43)Having a True Vision (17:02)Recap (19:22) – – – – – Emily Sander is a C-suite executive turned leadership coach.
