Team of Rivals The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

The narrative around our cabinet was team of rivals.

It was because there was a book on Abraham Lincoln out with that same name.

I still think Gary Will's book on Gettysburg is how he wove the Declaration of Independence into the civil rights, into the Constitution, the fabric of it. I think that was a brilliant book.

I think one of the best books on political leadership and understanding how to foster public opinion change is Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It's one of my favorite books.

Exactly what according to Doris Kearns Goodwin in her wonderful book about Abraham Lincoln, how he surrounded himself with three people who ran against him for the presidency of the United States at that time. They were all in his cabinet and he listened to them.

I gave you that book about Lincoln that's a great it's a weird kind of stream of consciousness telling of Lincoln's story in four volumes

it's crazy just the war years just from when he took office and when he was coming here hell was breaking loose

Well, you know what? That works too. What I learned from Jennifer Doudna is you have to look inside yourself and say, what is my best approach at being a collaborator, a creative team builder, and I'm going to do it my way and be comfortable with it. I learned that I'm not a particularly great manager.

The Doris Kearns Goodwin book. It's a great book about how some of the best leaders from history have brought people into their cabinets who some of them did not agree with them.

I was blown away, I was reading Doris Kearns Goodwin's, good one, Team of Rivals, and it's about Abraham Lincoln, and Lincoln is rated by most historians as our best president, right?

So the Spielberg movie is specifically about this but Lincoln's Lincoln realizing that you know there's certainly never been a cause more just than the freeing of the slaves and yet he didn't have the votes and he had to horse trade and break some legs and he had to he had to will that constitutional amendment into existence through raw political power these things don't just happen because they are correct.

we're in the book of Genesis and the book of Abraham. I think it's Genesis 12 through 17, Abraham 1 and 2.
