Become A Better CEO: 10 Lessons from Marcus Aurelius & More
The world’s best leaders swear by ancient wisdom. Why? Well, it turns out that Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus were sharing timeless leadership insights centuries before the modern theories we learn about today. In this episode of Stop Managing, Start Leading, I’ll be taking you through 10 Stoic lessons that will forever change the way you think about leadership - whether you’re running a Fortune 500 company or a small family-owned business. You’ll learn how to stay cool under pressure (think Marcus Aurelius in a board meeting), turn every obstacle into an opportunity (thank you, Seneca), and finally stop letting outside chaos (like Karen from accounting) ruin your day. We’ll even cover why “control what you can, let go of what you can’t” is more than just fridge magnet wisdom.Â
