Stacey Vanek Smith, Nora Ali and Bruce Shapiro
Women in the Workplace Can Learn from Machiavelli
Morning Brew, 2021
Aperçu
Machiavelli, known for ruthless, functional advice to leaders, offers relevant lessons for women at work.
Recommendation
Fully 500 years ago, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince – a manual of functional duplicity for interpersonal power dynamics and political intrigue. In her update of his advice, Stacey Vanek Smith demonstrates that Machiavelli’s rules for ambitious men work surprisingly well for women in the modern workplace. Nora Ali and Bruce Shapiro interview Smith on Morning Brew’s Business Casual podcast about the timelessness and hard-boiled practicality of Machiavelli’s advice for women navigating today’s corporate politics.
