ABOUT THE VIDEO
_
In this video, I talk about The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli, fear, hatred, and respect. I go over Machiavelli’s key principles for being a great leader.
According to Machiavelli, if you wanna lead effectively and live in glory, you need to follow three principles:
Number one: the people must respect you. This means they fear you but don’t hate you.
Number two: fear means fear of punishment. You must be willing to be firm and quick in your punishments when someone violates your rules. If you over-reward and under-punish people, they will not fear you.
Number three: keep hatred at an arm’s length-because tyranny has a small shelf life and history has proven that time and time again. People hate you when they are over-punished or under-rewarded by your actions as a leader.
