First of all Lincoln didn't sit in the White House but rather circulated amongst his people, he built strong alliances, and persuaded people to get what he wanted rather than using force. When employees believe their boss is accessible and approachable they will be more loyal and trustworthy. "By entering your subordinate's environment- by establishing frequent human contact- you create a sense of commitment, collaboration, and community. You also gain access to vital information necessary to make effective decisions." Looking at Lincoln's leadership shows that he believed in frequent casual contact with subordinates, keeping a good temper, paying compliments frequently, and setting a good example.
Phillips notes that Lincoln only used forced when absolutely necessary. If you want employees to join your cause then "a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall." Being kind and compassionate creates loyalty and dedication from subordinates. Lincoln also empowered people and delegated responsibility. He believed in elevating people and helping others climb the ladder of success. When someone does a good job a leader should praise and reward them. If they fail a leader should accept some of the responsibility.
When it came to criticism Lincoln was well versed. By looking at the way he dealt with it a leader must have stamina, fortitude, and self-confidence. Lincoln ignored most attacks unless they were important enough to make a difference. Lincoln maintained grace under pressure and had lots of courage.
This book was a recommendation at a conference I went to so I picked it up at the library. It wasn't one of my favorite reads. It had so good ideas but it just wasn't that engaging.

ReplyDeleteIntroduction to OPGW Cable -OPGW-24B1-150 OPGWOPGW-48B1-150
Optical fiber makes use of the difference of refractive index between core and cladding materials to transmit light energy in optical fiber, which has become a significant revolution in the history of communication. Optical fiber cable light in quality, small in size, has been adopted by the power system, in the substation and the central dispatching station between the transmission of dispatching telephone, telecontrol signals, relay protection, television images and other information. In order to improve the stability and reliability of optical fiber and cable, a composite structure of optical fiber and phase conductor, overhead ground wire and power cable has been developed abroad. OPGW optical cable because of the metal wire wrapped, so that the cable is more reliable, stable, firm, because of the overhead ground and cable composite as a whole, compared with the use of other optical cable, both shorten the construction period and save construction costs. In addition, if the OPGW made of aluminum clad steel wire or aluminum alloy wire is twisted, it is equivalent to setting up a good conductor overhead ground wire, which can receive many benefits such as reducing the latent power supply flow of transmission line, reducing the power frequency overvoltage, improving the interference and dangerous influence of power line on communication line, etc. Because of the characteristics of anti-electromagnetic interference and light weight of optical fiber, it can be installed on the top of transmission line tower without considering the best rack position and electromagnetic corrosion. Therefore, OPGW has high reliability, superior mechanical properties and low cost. This technique is particularly suitable and economical for new laying or replacement of existing ground cables.
