Chapter Outline
t
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
b
especially relevant to the many leaders who quietly go about the business of leading teams,
m
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.
I. Why We Need Effective Leadership (01.01, PPT Slides 4-9)
People think that they will recognize a good leader when they see one. Sometimes, though,
charismatic people are perceived to be leaders, regardless of whether leadership skills back up
the charisma. Today, people are beginning to expect more than a charismatic smile and a firm
handshake from leaders.
