Reputation Over Reality in Leadership

Aways remeber that Machiavelli said: In leadership and in life most individuals never get close

enough to understand your real motivations. This is why image management matters more than people

want to admit. Machiavelli understood that reputation often trumps reality in how others treat

you. The masses form opinions quickly based on limited information and

stick to them. Only your inner circle truly knows who you are beneath the facade.
