In 1860, Abraham Lincoln won the presidency ended up with a cabinet filled with people he had run against. Lincoln looked for ways to engage with the people. Lincoln's way of leadership provides insight as to what made him be the president he became, and also what brought his administration to come to respect him over time. There are twenty different leadership lessons for government, according to the practices of Abraham Lincoln. These practices are what lead him to becoming known as a people's president. The War Room shows a new way of leadership, not only in politics, but for the election process in looking for an Abraham Lincoln in politics today. Being a modern-day Lincoln isn't an easy sell for many who hold government positions. There is a level of ethics that is needed in order to bring forth a change. Regaining such trust among political leadership will take much time for political leadership to make a difference in the lives of the people-not only for today, but for the countless tomorrows that are ahead in the history of governing.
