Timeless leadership advice from the great historian who studied the greatest leaders in history

The ancient biographer and essayist Plutarch thoroughly researched the characteristics of leadership of prominent Greek and Roman men, outlining their profiles in his famous work Parallel Lives. These men included politicians and generals such as Pericles, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony.
The essence of this study is captured in a few essays, which contain essential lessons for experienced and aspiring leaders in any field.
The enlightening introduction, combined with the notes and the original ancient Greek text alongside its translation, provides the reader with a timeless leadership guide.
Writing at the height of the Roman Empire, Plutarch advises people to pursue leadership positions only if guided by reason and logic, rather than being driven by ambition, a sense of competition, or a lack of other meaningful activities.
