Podcast of the Week: Jocko on Machiavelli

I shouldn’t have to sell you on listening with anything more than this: a SEAL team leader and business strategist reading and discussing excerpts from The Prince and Richard III. 

Jocko explains why people who fly directly onto the top of a hierarchy often have more trouble than those who fought their way up, and how a leader who is himself unwise will never take good advice.

Jocko podcast #161 is excellent.
