AAbraham Lincoln was the Great Communicator. He had an extraordinary ability to weave into almost any conversation an anecdote or story that made his point more effectively than simple facts and figures. With homespun humor and common sense, his stories served to persuade, inspire, chastise, commend, and motivate those around him throughout his presidency.
Lincoln's use of humor as a leadership tool is still an effective model for today's leaders who recognize the advantages of appealing to emotion as well as to intellect. Lincoln Stories for Leaders presents many of the president's best parables, organized for quick reference under both general and specific topics.
On Decisiveness "That reminds me of a dispute that once occurred between my two sons. One of them had a toy that the other wanted and demanded in terms emphatic and boisterous. At length he was told to let his brother have it in order to quiet him. 'No sir,' was the sturdy response. 'I must have it to quiet myself.'"
A Good Reply to a Self-Proclaimed Expert "Question How many legs will a sheep have if you call the tail a leg? Answer Five. Reply No, because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one."
If a picture can speak a thousand words, a good story can speak volumes, and a story told by Abraham Lincoln speaks to the ages. Whether you command a corporation, a classroom, or a carpool, these timeless truths will help you interact gracefully and persuasively with those who look to your for leadership.
Lincoln Stories for Leaders eBook Donald T Phillips
I liked this book because it showed how Abraham Lincoln used stories as a critical tool to respond to various situations.Instead of arguing a point Lincoln deftly used stories as non-provocative tools of persuasion.
Lincoln was mixture of talents and motivations - he was ambitious, had a kindly disposition, he was a political chess master and a fine orator.
Yet, I believe that the one quality that Lincoln had that surpassed all others, and allowed him to reach such great heights, was his humble, yet compelling, ability to tell stories. He told stores everywhere he went and to every person that he met.
Lincoln himself, said, "A story is the shortest distance between a stranger and a friend."
While all the stories in this book may not be of direct use, they can be updated and modified to be put to use in our modern society.
As former Arizona Congressman (and Presidential Candidate) Mo Udall said,
"A good joke (or story) is timeless, and most political jokes are recycled. You could take Abe Lincoln's joke book, substitute autos or airplanes for horses and carriages, change time and place, and end up with a witty, timely joke."
I also recommend, The Humorous Mr. Lincoln and my own humble volume, How Abraham Lincoln Used Stories to Touch Hearts, Minds, and Funny Bones.

Was hoping to be able to use these stories to help teach leadership, but while interesting they are not easy to link to current day leader challenges
