Document Summary
Presidents have tried before and failed numerous times in their attempts to persuade others for change. Abraham lincoln was a little different in how he handled conversations and interactions with others. He had a huge mind and a huge resource of people to backup what he did. In addition, he had some great charisma to move his ideas forward. He also had a way of keeping to his opinions and not letting any other enemy change his thinking. In the chapter that i read, the author discusses various ways that lincoln was able to handle his nation under various tests. Smiliat to a manager, he had to control the behavior of his members. He partly did this because he understood the motives of people and how they tended to react under stress (page 34). Great businesswomen need to know how to handle different areas of businesses when hard times come.
