Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - POWER IS EASY TO ACQUIRE. HARDER TO DESERVE. Power does not corrupt only through cruelty. It corrupts through self-deception, fear, vanity, silence-and the belief that good intentions excuse bad methods. Every leader eventually faces the same test: Can you exercise power without allowing power to exercise control over you The Stoic Prince brings the discipline of Stoic self-command into conversation with Machiavelli's unsparing understanding of power. Not to teach manipulation. Not to justify ruthlessness. But to develop leaders who can see reality clearly, act decisively under pressure, and remain answerable to principle. Through twelve documented cases-from Wells Fargo and Apollo 13 to Nelson Mandela, LEGO, Anne Mulcahy, and George Washington-Aurelius Voss reveals what leadership looks like when character is tested by consequences. Inside, you will learn how to: - See incentives and hidden realities before trusting slogans- Separate what fortune controls from what remains under your command- Build capacity before authority places pressure upon it- Earn respect without relying on fear or approval- Design dissent into decisions before certainty becomes dangerous- Confront conflict without allowing anger to become the strategist- Use necessary severity without crossing into cruelty- Adapt to changing circumstances without betraying your principles- Build institutions capable of surviving your absence This is not a book about appearing virtuous. It is not a collection of motivational quotations or abstract leadership theories. It is a practical discipline for governing yourself before attempting to govern anything else. For entrepreneurs, executives, managers, professionals, and anyone preparing to carry greater responsibility, The Stoic Prince offers a demanding but necessary standard: Master Yourself. Understand Power. Command Without Corruption.…
