What's Wrong With Machiavelli? Rebuilding Your Leadership from the Ground Up.

The current challenges affecting our organizations, economies, and nations are really symptoms: We are facing a leadership crisis. If we are serious about transforming the practice of leadership, we have to go back to its roots: to the hidden assumptions of the current, obsolete leadership model. In fact we have to go way back: 506 years.

Have you ever felt sandwiched in between your superiors and your direct reports, or between the market and your people, or between your personal and professional commitments? 

Have you ever felt you would never tackle the mountain of work clamoring to be done? that  circumstances seemed simply beyond your control?

In order to get to the root cause of these issues and restore your true power as a leader, we have to go back in time, way back. The French have a proverb: "Il faut reculer pour mieux sauter." At times you have to step back to leap farther.

And that is what we will do in this next video. The problem is that our current leadership model is really 500 years old. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince in 1505 and published it in 1515.

There is nothing wrong with Machiavelli's underlying model, but it was designed for another time and for challenges other than our own. We need a hard reset. We need to upgrade the model by re-writing the software.

But the old model is so deeply entrenched in our ways of thinking, our belief systems, our unexamined assumptions about people, that it pretty much shapes all our actions.

In this video you will learn:

1. What Machiavelli counseled the leaders of his time back in 1515.
2. How the leadership landscape has changed fundamentally, especially in the last generation.
3. What are the 5 essential building blocks of leadership in the 21st century (2 of which Machiavelli completely ignored).
