Machiavelli gets a bad rap Perhaps the Prince is an important leadership manual? A modern spin on 3 takeaways 😈 1️⃣ The ends justify the means While I can’t justify immoral acts, consider this… 👉 Begin with the end in mind 👉 Sell your vision to the people 👉 Paint a picture of a future state Those ends may be worth rallying around 2️⃣ A vision of change can be a powerful motivator Status quo can be a trap… 👉 Be aware of the waves of change 👉 Understand the pain points others face 👉 Create a better alternative to the current state Build the case for change 3️⃣ Minimize pain, maximize gain Consider the peak-end rule 👉 People remember the most intense moments 👉 And they give more weight to the latter part 👉 Everything in between is diminished Design your experiences accordingly Don’t be Machiavellian, find the good and make the world a better place! 〽️ #vision #change #experiencedesign
Thought provoking indeed - Focusing on positive leadership and meaningful change can truly inspire and unite your team.
Great share. Framing change as an opportunity rather than a disruption can inspire people to rally around a common vision.
Very informative! Vision is the anchor that keeps change grounded in purpose. In experience design, it provides stability and direction.
Appreciate your thoughts! It's fascinating how historical figures still influence modern leadership.〽️ Jason Malwitz
Interesting take... Machiavelli definitely knew a thing or two about human nature :) and some of these principles are surprisingly relevant in today’s world. The idea of starting with a clear vision and painting a future state resonates a lot... people need something to believe in. And designing experiences with the "peak-end rule" in mind? That’s a powerful approach for anyone looking to make a lasting impact. Leadership isn’t about manipulation; it’s about inspiring and guiding change in a way that benefits everyone... ever since Machiavelli’s The Prince!
