“Be sure you put your feet in right place, then stand firm”- said Abraham Lincoln. This being principle of my life, I admire Abraham Lincoln and found him to be great and visionary global leader because of following traits-

  • He demonstrated his leadership by pulling this group together into a unique team that represented the greatest minds of his time.
  • Having a humble background, Lincoln demonstrated an ability to withstand adversity and to move forward in the face of frustration
  • Capacity to Listen to Different Points of View. He created a climate where Cabinet members were free to disagree without fear of retaliation. At the same time, he knew when to stop the discussion and after listening to the various opinions, make a final decision.
  • Ability to Learn on the Job Lincoln was able to acknowledge errors, learn from them, and then move. In this way, he established a culture of learning in his administration.
  • Ready Willingness to Share Credit for Success- Lincoln shared the credit with all of those involved.
  • Ability to Control Emotions Lincoln treated those he worked with well. However, he did get angry and frustrated, so he found a way to channel those emotions. He was known to sit down and write what he referred to as a “hot letter” to the individual he was angry with and then he would set the letter aside and not send it. If he did lose his temper, Lincoln would follow up with a kind gesture or letter to let the individual know he was not holding a grudge.
  • People’ leader During the Civil War, many soldiers died and there were many ups and downs. Lincoln established lasting connections with the troops by visiting the battlefield and hospitals, which also helped bolster morale. Lincoln also spent time talking with members of the public. He held public receptions and made a point of shaking everyone’s hand and speaking to each individual.
  • Ability to Communicate Goals and Vision Lincoln had a “remarkable ability to communicate his goals to his countrymen.” He made concepts simple and communicated with an understanding of the concerns of the citizens.

When the war ended and he won reelection, Lincoln did not focus on his achievements, rather, in his second inaugural speech, Lincoln focused on bringing the country together. His greatness consisted of the “integrity of his character and moral fiber of his being.”
