You become wise only When...

TEAM OF RIVALS

A historical account of how to balance political passions and positions. It is also a story of great courage and determination on the part of a leader. With hindsight, one can see the greatness of Abraham Lincoln, which may not have been noticed during his life. After his death, his leadership skills become obvious.

What would have happened if the north-south conflict had turned south and not north? What would have been the judgment of history, and would there be a United States of America? But this is also a story of other great men and women who never obtained top office, but for the love of country, ensured that the nation held together. There are many unsung heroes in this story like the buffalo soldier and the Native American who gave up ground for the extension of the nation.

Leadership supersedes harmony in a team. Leadership looks ahead of teamwork for objectives to align loyalties and engage passions. Leadership has the humility to give those who are vain time to blow out their steam. Leadership is perhaps never more complex than when a house is divided, but it can be done.
