Anyone can lead when times are good. Real leadership shows up when everything is falling apart — and I know that firsthand.
In this video I break down the most powerful leadership lessons from Machiavelli’s The Prince and overlay them with what I actually lived inside one of the most high-pressure criminal organizations in American history. We cover the four ways leaders rise, how to manage your reputation like a weapon, how to read timing and opportunity, and most importantly — how to lead through crisis without losing your people, your credibility, or yourself. Machiavelli described human nature as it really is. I lived it. Now you’re going to learn it.
