In this one-time lecture, Avlon will present a new angle on the most written about president, Abraham Lincoln. Avlon makes the point that character is the most important quality in a president, and Lincoln’s model of leadership, anchored in forgiveness and magnanimity, was driven by his personal attributes including empathy, honor, humor and humility.
Avlon is an award-winning columnist and the author of “Independent Nation,” “Wingnuts,” “Washington’s Farewell,” and “Lincoln and the Fight for Peace.” Previously, he was the editor-in-chief and managing director of “The Daily Beast” and served as chief speechwriter for the mayor of New York during the attacks on 9/11.
