## Resource

Abraham Lincoln was one of the most unpopular men ever to hold the presidency. His own Cabinet, much of his party, and the national press were hostile for much of his administration. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy uses Lincoln's story to examine the quality that most leaders, CEOs, and family heads avoid at almost any cost: the willingness to do what is unpopular but necessary. Darren also walks through Lincoln's specific decisions, the opposition they drew, and what they ultimately produced, then challenges every listener to identify one unpopular but necessary move to make today.
