The 48 Laws of Power
Out of the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, the most intriguing for me is the first one: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER.
“Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite- inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power”.
How does this align with the authentic leadership we seek?
What do “leaders” and “the led” across sectors say? Your views? What has been your experience?
