Brings back fond memories of reading The Prince in college.

Maybe a leader needs to be a pr*ck, but who the heck would want to work for one?

She says that her team is now researching whether it is better for a group’s performance to have a dominant leader or a prestigious leader.

It’s the Nancy Pelosi vs. John Boehner question.

Yeah, we used to fear God. Not so much anymore.

The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning if wisdom. Now this kind of fear is a healthy kind. The thing is.. when you fear God… your fear is turned to confidence over there. And those who have no fear of God over here.. will have quite a bit if it over there. Fear here becomes confidence over there. Mocking here turns to fear over there.

Simple principle. Nothing surprising really. Just like the guy who mocks the judge publicly all around town.. and then one day has to stand before him in the courtroom. Not so tough now.

If you want to reach the top at work, it’s better to be feared than liked, according to a new study.

Same as the old study.
