That\u2019s who Abraham Lincoln drafted for his Cabinet during the most precipitous time in U.S. history. And most of them weren\u2019t the biggest fans of the country\u2019s 16th president. This week, in the latest episode of our series within the show, STORIES FROM THE BOOK CRUCIBLE LEADERSHIP, we examine how Lincoln managed to achieve such momentous results by assembling a team of rivals. Key to his success, Warwick explains, was Lincoln\u2019s character and the humility that flowed from it, allowing him to surround himself with men who had what it took to help him win the civil war and end slavery \u2026 even if they didn\u2019t much care for their boss when they started working for him. In the end though, because of his lack of ego and his ability to forgive slights both big and small, Lincoln\u2019s team came to view him, as one of them said, \u201cas the best and wisest man he had ever known.\u201d To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.
