About this listen

Drawing from Machiavelli’s The Prince and applying it to modern leadership, this bold, unflinching guide shows how power actually works inside companies—from the boardroom to the backchannel.

Whether you're managing up, fighting for visibility, or plotting your next move, this book gives you the raw, strategic playbook that most leadership books politely ignore.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Why reputation beats results—until it doesn’t.
  • How to take power without waiting for permission.
  • When to lead with fear, when to lead with love—and when to use both.
  • How to exploit chaos and control the narrative in fast-moving environments.

Packed with real-world case studies—from Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover to Satya Nadella’s quiet power reset at Microsoft— “Machiavelli for Business” decodes how the best leaders bend the rules, shape perception, and protect their influence.

This isn’t leadership theory. It’s war strategy—for anyone who wants to survive and thrive in today’s corporate arena.

Play the game or be played. Welcome to the new playbook.

Here are compelling reasons to buy and listen to “Machiavelli for Business”

It Tells the Truth About Power
Most business books preach idealism—this one strips it away. If you’ve ever wondered how power actually works behind the scenes, this is your manual. It doesn’t sugarcoat. It shows you how influence, control, and perception really shape outcomes.

It Helps You Navigate Office Politics Without Losing Your Mind
You don’t have to be ruthless—but you do need to be strategic. This book teaches you how to deal with hidden agendas, rivals, and power plays like a pro.

It’s Backed by Real-World Case Studies
If you work in business, you’re already in the game. “Machiavelli for Business” teaches you how to win it—without pretending it’s something it’s not.
