The mind of a leader
34 famous international leaders and experts within: Business, Politics, Art, Sport, Organized Crime, Philanthropy, and Health Care are united in a timeless and universal documentary about leadership, ethics and visions. The topics discussed in each chapter of The Mind of a Leader are closely related to the issues raised in the 26 chapters of Niccolò Machiavelli's controversial strategic masterpiece 'The Prince' (Italy, 1513). The Mind of a Leader presents each chapter of ‘The Prince’ in 26 episodes, each 26 minutes. The modern documentaries consist of interviews with influential leaders from all over the world based on modern interpretations of Machiavelli’s controversial thoughts. The projects reveals the involved participants' personal views, and not their knowledge in terms of Machiavelli.
The multi-cultural documentary series examines different aspects of modern leadership and encourages future leaders to be responsible and create an efficient, dynamic, and humane environment, while achieving ambitious goals. The Mind of a Leader offers general advice in regards to both individual and organizational success, global co-operations, human values, human resource issues such as motivation, implementation of changes, personal ambitions, etc. But The Mind of a Leader also aims to reveal some of the more sensitive issues an ambitious leader has to deal with in regard to the above. Questions such as, whether it is better to be loved or feared as a leader, or if it is ever acceptable to practice deceit or make human sacrifices for a greater good?
