Those of you who follow political commentary will have heard the frequent mentioning of Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2005 book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.
This is a good read for basically anyone who works with others. Lincoln's model of gaining much needed experience and valuable insights from those who think and operate differently is worth an examination.
What I especially appreciate is the sound historical context that the book contains.
Plus, I happen to enjoy Doris Kearns Goodwin's rhetoric for the most part.
In short, I recommend.
