What can modern leaders learn from Abraham Lincoln? I thought that Memorial Day was a fitting time to write this blog. More than a century after his death, Lincoln’s approach to leadership continues to inspire. This imagined late-night conversation explores the enduring wisdom of a man who led America through its darkest hours.
As we approach Memorial Day 2024, it’s important to pause amidst the festivities to remember the profound meaning of this day – honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice serving our nation. What began as a day to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers has evolved into a time to pay tribute to all the brave men and women who died defending America across history.
Just like every other leader, but on a much more profound scale, all American presidents seem to be tested to see whether they truly mean what they say. They are also asked to be stewards of a political system whose fundamental principles are clearly laid out. The very nature of leadership is that others look to someone else to lead and provide guidance as to what is important. It is also important for that leader to navigate the inevitable challenges that get in the way of living this reality and pursuing a better future.
