Rent The Leadership Genius of Julius Caesar: Modern Lessons from the Man Who Built an Empire

Synopsis

Barlag uses dramatic and colorful incidents from Caesar's career-being held hostage by pirates, charging headlong alone into enemy lines, pardoning people he knew wanted him dead-to illustrate what Caesar can teach leaders today. Central to Barlag's argument is the distinction between force and power. Caesar avoided using brute force on his followers, understanding that fear never generates genuine loyalty. He exercised a power deeply rooted in his demonstrated personal integrity and his intuitive understanding of people's deepest needs and motivations. His supporters followed him because they wanted to, not because they were compelled to. Over 2,000 years after Caesar's death, this is still the kind of loyalty every leader wants to inspire. Barlag shows how anyone can learn to lead like Caesar.
