I find it interesting to connect the business world and the Machiavelli principles for leadership. Politics is in every aspects of life, and power struggle is everywhere. This is a great course, and my understanding of strategies to foster a stable governance has sharpened. I will surely continue reviewing from time to time the content of this course.
