Leadership Lessons from Abraham Lincoln - HBR.org: "If I did get to meet him, though, I wouldn’t ask him what I, as a historian, know I’m supposed to ask him—about what he would have done to bring the country together after the Civil War, had he lived. I’d ask him to tell me stories. Everyone remarked upon his extraordinary sense of humor, and he was widely admired as a storyteller. He said himself that a good story is better than a drop of whiskey. I’d just sit at the kitchen table with him and have him tell me one story after another, for then he would truly come to life again."
