Chapter Outline

Abraham Lincoln was a highly visible leader who had a significant influence on people across
u
the United States and around the world. Yet the leadership qualities Lincoln exemplified are

especially relevant to the many leaders who quietly go about the business of leading teams,

companies, and communities‘ day after day. Every company, sports team, government agency,
family, nonprofit organization, social cause, and community group needs good leadership to
succeed.
