Hello fellow Product Hunters! This week we’ve got a different type of episode: The tables are turned as I take the hot seat in order to share my learnings from a recent Harvard Business School course I attended on the leadership lessons of ancient Rome. The course focused on the writings of Roman philosophers Seneca the Younger and Valerius Maximus, whose timeless wisdom can be applied in the service of creating better, longer lasting organizations today. Considering today’s lightning-fast pace, constant technological disruption, and hordes of smartphone-toting Millennials, you might think that Ancient Rome would be the last place to look in order to gain insight into the modern workplace. But I was surprised by how much of these ancient leadership lessons still rang true today - and I think you will be too.
