Lincoln's mentors : the education of a leader / Michael J. Gerhardt.
"A novel and brilliant look at how Abraham Lincoln mastered the art of leadership: acclaimed historian Michael J. Gerhardt, who appeared during the impeachment proceedings of President Trump, reveals how a group of five men mentored an obscure lawyer with no executive experience to become American's greatest leader"-- Provided by publisher.
When Abraham Lincoln returned to Springfield, Illinois, after two uninspiring years in the U.S. House of Representatives, his political career seemed all but finished. Yet within a decade he would reenter politics, become a leader of the Republican Party, win the 1860 presidential election, and keep America together during a most perilous period in history. According to the author, the explantion for this dramatic shift lay in Lincoln's reading about the successes, failures, oratory, and political maneuvering of a small but diverse handful of influential men. The valuable lessons he learned on leadership, mastering party politics, and more allowed him to develop his own enduring legacy.
