About this listen

In this episode of "The 48 Laws of Power" podcast, we explore Law 1, which is about understanding power dynamics in a hierarchical relationship. We take a look at an example from history where Niccolo Machiavelli made a fatal mistake by outshining his master, Lorenzo de' Medici. We discuss the importance of showing respect and deference to those above us, and how this can help us gain power and influence without threatening their authority. Tune in to learn how to navigate power dynamics in a hierarchy and avoid making the same mistake as Machiavelli.
