Strong leadership is tested most during moments of uncertainty, disagreement, and crisis. 

Throughout American history, leaders have faced rapidly changing conditions, limited resources, political division, and immense pressure to deliver results. The lessons they learned remain deeply relevant for today’s federal leaders, managers, and decision-makers. 

Join us for Leading Through Crisis: Lessons from History, a live webinar featuring Steve Wiley, Dr. Matthew Pinsker, Dr. Judy Morley, and the Lincoln Leadership Institute team. Through stories and leadership lessons drawn from Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, this session explores how leaders can strengthen decision-making, build unity during periods of disagreement, and lead effectively through high-pressure environments. 

Designed for federal employees, managers, executives, and emerging leaders, this webinar connects historical leadership lessons directly to today’s leadership challenges while supporting development in ECQ1 and ECQ4. 

Key topics include:

  • The impact of interpersonal relationships on organizational performance  
  • The difference between transactional and transformational leadership and how to balance both effectively  
  • Leadership strategies Abraham Lincoln used to transform disagreement into unity  
  • Practical approaches for leading during rapidly changing, resource-constrained environments  
  • Lessons from history that strengthen communication, trust, and leadership effectiveness today  

Participants will gain practical leadership insights grounded in history while exploring strategies that can be applied immediately in today’s federal workplace.
