Flattery weakens. Selective truth strengthens. Control counsel, or be ruled by those who whisper sweetly and kill slowly. #ThePrince #Leadership
A prince is judged by his inner circle. Choose ministers who serve the mission, not themselves. Proximity shapes power. #ThePrince #Leadership
Power demands presence. Neutrality breeds irrelevance. A prince must act boldly, reward publicly, and craft his legend. #ThePrince #Leadership
Fortresses don’t protect hated rulers. Your true defense is loyalty, not walls. Rule from within, not above. #ThePrince #Leadership
Fear is survivable. Contempt is fatal. A prince must be respected, never ridiculed or hated. Lose respect, and you lose the throne. #ThePrince
