Will provide login to my online book

As a young politician, Abraham lincoln once provoked an opponent to tears by using his expert communication skills to mimic and ridicule his rival. Soon afterward, the man would later become the 16th president of the United States felt disappointed and ashamed of his own behavior and sought out his opponent to offer an apology. Lincoln took this as a valuable lesson about channeling his emotions, practicing empathy, and using his abilities to promote good. From then on Lincoln applied his superb leadership and communication skills to serve the higher interests of the american people rather than his own goals and ego. Daft (2015. p3)
