The Lincoln Authority: How to Lead with Authority in Today’s Organizations

The Lincoln Authority is a leader’s guide to the exercise of firm and positive authority-because only balanced leadership delivers immediate results and keeps employees engaged. The Lincoln Authority describes the actual skills you can use to energize your team and exercise authority as an influential member of a productive management team. The answer to poor employee engagement isn’t more surveys, it is leaders who know how to exercise authority: strong, respectful authority. Improve your practice of leadership and increase the impact of every hour you spend, every directive you issue. The Lincoln Authority is crisp, practical, and every chapter contains ideas and examples leaders can apply to expand their influence and accomplish more. Authority principles come alive with brief illustrations from the life of Abraham Lincoln. Keith N.
