Make Others Respect You | The Philosophy of Niccolo Machiavelli

ABOUT THE VIDEO
_
In this video, I talk about The Prince, Niccolo Machiavelli, fear, hatred, and respect. I go over Machiavelli’s key principles for being a great leader.

According to Machiavelli, if you wanna lead effectively and live in glory, you need to follow three principles:

Number one: the people must respect you. This means they fear you but don’t hate you.

Number two: fear means fear of punishment. You must be willing to be firm and quick in your punishments when someone violates your rules. If you over-reward and under-punish people, they will not fear you.

Number three: keep hatred at an arm’s length—because tyranny has a small shelf life and history has proven that time and time again. People hate you when they are over-punished or under-rewarded by your actions as a leader.

I’ve had a teacher who followed this. She wasn’t strict, but she was firm and would always put us in our place. But she was also genuine and wanted us to do our best. She made me motivated to try in my humanities class and honestly I feel like this should be taught to teachers. Because this is actually so applicable to literally every teacher I can think of.

It's better to be feared than loved if you cannot do both -Niccolo Machiavelli

[asdsasa]

"When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists. Next best is a leader who is loved. Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised. If you don't trust the people, you make them untrustworthy. The Master doesn't talk, he acts. When his work is done, the people say, 'Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!'"

I want people to be afraid of how much they love me - Michael Scott

I have worked for both types of bosses. The one who punishes too much and rewards too little and the one who rewards too much and punishes too little. I agree that the results for being these types of leaders are not being respected and being hated. As will all things in life it is trying to find the balance between the two and doing it effectively that makes it challenging but worth it to be a great leader. Thank you for sharing.

To anyone who's watching this video and reading the comments, my wish for you is that any troubles or anxieties that have been weighing you down will begin to lift. May your mind be cleared of negative thoughts, incessant overthinking, and any doubts that have been holding you back. May clarity replace your confusion, and may your life be filled with peace and calmness. Take the wisdom from this video and empower yourself to achieve all that you seek. 🙏✨

I think this is really good. Morality comes down to treating people according to the efforts/outcomes of their work. If everyone is treated “equal” regardless of what they do, it pushes down those who work hard and elevates the lazy

My little brother is very entitled. To the point that he won't even get a glass of water himself. And i always let it slide. But he's 18 now. I'm going to start implementing these tips

The structure of the human figures changes in this video i guess. I appreciate the change! Keep motivating us. 😊

Wow, your content is amazing! I was working on a Niccolo Machiavelli's quotes video and this video reminds me of this quote: "It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both." -Niccolo Machiavelli

Thanks for making and sharing wonderful content 💛

Great video! This video is another reason to being a great leader.

[abnoco]

Brilliant! I managed people and didn’t know what I was doing wrong. Now I see I was over rewarding and under punishing. Duh

[dehhota]

brilliant video 🤝, rewarding and punishing in equal terms can be quite the task

I learnt this philosophy in the hard way,
i'm a class prefect (in Kenya) and as class prefects we do alot of work and even teachers depend on us when it comes to punishment for the students. I wish i knew this earlier.
