Lincolns Lesson on Leadership
From his earliest days in politics, Abraham
Lincoln had a critic who continually treated him
with contempt. An extremely rude man, Edwin
Stanton would say to newspaper reporters thatLincoln was a low cunning clown and the
original gorilla. In spite of personal and
slanderous attacks Lincoln never responded,never retaliated.
When Lincoln was elected President, he needed a
Secretary of War and selected Edwin Stanton.When his friends asked why, Lincoln replied,
Because he is the best man for the job.Years later, that fateful night came when an
assassins bullet murdered the president.
Lincolns body was carried off to another room.
Edwin Stanton came, and looking down upon thesilent, rugged face of his dead President, said
through his tears, There lies the greatest ruler of
men the world has ever seen.
Early on in my career I realized that good
leadership would be crucial if I wanted to be asuccess. I needed to know: what makes a good
leader? So I purchased the books, listened to the
self-help tapes and tried to ask all the right
questions when in the company of successfulmanagers. I soon realized that there while there
were many factors that would contribute to good
leadershipit was the power of love and
kindness that would prove most valuable.
Todays lesson on managing and being the best
leader possible:
Select the best person for the job.
Look past the personality conflicts. Choose to do the right thing no matter how
you feel.
And never forget the power of kindness
will win over a stubborn heart!

Turn off your computer and disconnect
it from the Internet. If you save personal
information in your computer, make sure it
is difficult to access. Add a password toyour personal computer. You dont want a
hacker at work while you are on vacation.
Keep valuables under lock and key andwell hidden. Do not leave personal
documents in your home office or desk -
burglars know to look for them there. Put
critical documents in a lock box or safesomewhere else in the house. Keep copies
of important documents at another
location - a relatives home, for example.Expensive jewelry should also be hidden
somewhere other than the bedroom or leftin a safe deposit box at the bank.

of Michigans monthly publication.
Home Burglaries Can Spike As ResidentsGo On Vacation
While Michigan residents are getting ready to
head out for much-deserved summer vacations,burglars may be planning to ruin their fun.
There wer 71,810 burglaries in Michigan in
2010, down from 75,066 in 2009. Many of thoseoccur in the summer months, according to the
Insurance Institute of Michigan (IIM).
Standard homeowners insurance policiesprovide coverage for theft of personal
possessions and damage to the home caused by a
break-in. If you own valuable jewelry or other
luxury goods, be sure to ask your insuranceagent or company representative whether you
should consider purchasing an endorsement toensure adequate coverage for these items. Manypolicies limit the amount of coverage for certain
items, such as jewelry, art and cash.
In addition to having the right insurancecoverage, IIM offers these preventive measures
to keep your home safe:
Make it time consuming to break into
your home. Dead-bolt window and door
locks can slow a burglar down. You mayalso obtain a discount of 2 to 5 percent on
your insurance policy for installing thesedevices.
Make it noisy to break into your home.
Invest in a burglar alarm. The most effectivesystems ring at an outside service, which
alerts the police, fire and other emergency
services. A sophisticated alarm system could
result in insurance discounts of 15 to 20percent.
Make sure you have strong doors. Outsidedoors and frames should be made of metal or
solid hardwood and be at least 1 3/4-inchesthick. Each door must fit its frame securely.
Even the best lock will not deter a burglar if
it is installed in a weak door. Garage doorsalso need strong locks. If you have a tool
shed, keep it locked since burglars can use
the tools to break into your home.
Happy Birthday!!
