MACHIAVELLI AND POP MANAGEMENT LITERATURE: THE WORLD OF UNCERTAINTIES AND INVITATION TO ORGANIZATIONAL FANTASIES

Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9

Abstract

This article aims to bring a comparative study of the work The Prince, by Niccolò Machiavelli, and The Servant: a simple story about the true essence oflLeadership by James C. Hunter, and understand how both books work the issue of leadership. From the analysis of the two works, we intend to show how the labor subject occupies a central place in discussions of modern society, and to show that, although the two works in question are apparently so antagonistic in their leadership concepts, there is a series of common objectives and strategies that help us better understand the corporate world.
