The Lincoln Authority – How to Lead with Authority in Today’s Organizations
Dedicated site – Published in 2015
Available on Amazon as a Kindle ebook or paperback – Amazon.com or Amazon.ca (if you’re in Canada).
Increase Your Impact With Collective Leadership
The Lincoln Authority addresses the important but under-emphasized topic of collective leadership. It is how leaders exercise their managerial authority, and how collective managerial behavior affects an organization’s ‘authority structure’ – the strength of the correlation between directives given and actions completed.
An organization with a weak ‘authority structure’ cannot improve and adapt because it cannot convert leadership direction into concrete action – such an organization is effectively adrift.
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.
“Your excellent book, The Lincoln Authority, is an outstanding way to introduce business leaders to the importance of honest character in business, and the leadership skills necessary in business — all exemplified by President Lincoln.”
Lewis Lehrman – former President of Rite Aid, economic historian, U.S. National Humanities Medal recipient, and author of Lincoln at Peoria – The Turning Point.
“Absolutely wonderful resource on leadership and how to effectively lead an organisation (or business unit). Filled with great ideas – but more importantly – filled with actionable takeaways to help be a more effective leader in the workplace. A must read for both new and seasoned business leaders.”
