지문)

During the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln faced one of the most turbulent periods in U.S. history. Rather than choosing cabinet members solely from his supporters, Lincoln adopted a remarkably pragmatic approach to leadership. He appointed several of his political rivals to top positions, including Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War, William H. Seward as Secretary of State, and Salmon P. Chase as Secretary of the Treasury. These individuals had once criticized or competed against Lincoln, yet he valued their competence and commitment to the Union over personal loyalty or party affiliation.Stanton, once a fierce critic of Lincoln, proved to be an exceptional administrator who managed Union military resources with efficiency. Seward helped prevent foreign intervention during the war, and Chase secured the financial foundation for victory by restructuring the nation’s banking system. Lincoln’s ability to put aside personal grievances and form a “team of rivals” created a unified and effective administration during a national crisis.This suggests that true leadership is not defined by ideological purity or personal allegiance, but by __________________________. Especially in times of upheaval, the strength of a leader often lies in the capacity to forge cooperation among those with differing views.
