Discover how Jordan Peterson’s insights on meritocracy align with my recent post, "Machiavelli for Nice Guys" - a roadmap for balancing power and integrity in a world that demands both strategy and ethics.
Machiavelli teaches us to prioritize results over intentions. Good intentions alone are not enough to change the world - we must be willing to “roll up our sleeves” and do what is necessary. Success is the true measure of our impact, there is no nice guys awards. And while this may disturb our sense of moral superiority, it’s a sobering reminder that being too principled can sometimes be the very thing that limits our success.
