Niccolò Machiavelli left us an invaluable legacy on managing large social systems, which remains more relevant, informative, and useful than most modern management books. Many people know Machiavelli and his works only by hearsay; laymen portray him as an apologist for cunning and cynicism.
In this book, Vladimir Tarasov, author of the bestsellers "The Technology of Life: A Book for Heroes" and "The Art of Management Struggle," discusses Machiavelli's management techniques and principles, adapting them to modern business conditions. He examines over 200 management techniques in detail, including:
- Ideological and political methods of managing a modern company: why leaders are praised and criticized, loved and hated, feared and ignored, respected and despised;
- How to use alliances and outsourcing, allied and mercenary "troops";
- Love and fear as fundamental management mechanisms, how the ethics of a top manager differs from that of company employees;
- Technologies for applying harsh and unpopular measures, strategies for demonstrating necessary cruelty, beneficence, and generosity;
- Preventing and uncovering conspiracies and collusions, combating negative leaders, using and countering rumors.
