Biography:
Routinely rated as our best president by historians and scholars, Abraham Lincoln guided the country through its greatest crisis: the Civil War. Born in humble circumstances in Illinois, he overcame his modest background by becoming a successful lawyer, politician, and leader of his nation.

Leadership Attributes:
Lincoln was a pragmatic leader: he was willing to compromise to hold the Union together, guaranteeing slavery in the states where it already existed. He also suspended individual civil rights in order to win the war. He was also supremely flexible, willing to try a number of different policies. For example, he went through seven generals until he gave command of the Union Army to Ulysses S Grant. One of the talents that allowed him to hold the northern states together during the war was his diplomatic ability. He could bring politicians from varying backgrounds together.
