Abstract

This study analyzes Abraham Lincoln's leadership style during the American Civil War through a qualitative approach based on literature review. Lincoln successfully blended the principles of democratic leadership with strategic flexibility, using a "team of rivals" strategy to involve various views in decision-making. This approach creates legitimacy and a solid consensus in the midst of a crisis. In public communication, Lincoln used an educative, gradual strategy to rally support for the abolition of slavery, leveraging crucial momentum such as the Emancipation Proclamation. This approach succeeded in building people's moral awareness while reducing resistance. This research highlights the relevance of Lincoln's leadership style in facing modern challenges, such as political polarization and global crises. Lincoln's participatory approach, transparency, and long-term vision provide valuable lessons for today's leadership
