This is The Reward For Being A Leader

Ryan talks about how to be a great leader. The Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge is a 9-week course that was built to mirror the kind of education that produced historically great leaders like Marcus Aurelius. It is now a recorded course, which means all participants will join the course and move through it at their own pace.

  Esta es la recompensa por ser un líder. Harry Truman fue un presidente tremendamente desaparecido. Solo mira las decisiones que tuvo que tomar durante su mandato: bajar la bomba atómica dos veces, el aterrizaje de la avión de Berlín, la guerra coreana, desegregar las fuerzas armadas, nacionalizar las usines de acero durante la lucha de trabajo, disparar a funcionarios corruptos del IRS que tomaron briques. Marcus Aurelius, por su parte, ha sido mucho menos visto por los historiadores porque su reino fue definido no por las bendiciones de la fortuna, sino por los problemas masivos fuera de su control: una guerra fronteriza, un golpe de Estado, una pandemia, planes de sucesión interrumpidos por la tragedia.

  Ambos Marcus Aurelius y Epictetus citarían un fragmento de un play que profetizaba el destino de todos los reyes: "Ganar una mala reputación por buenos actos". Y como líder o alguien aspirando a la liderazgo, es importante que sepas esto: "No se hará un baño de próspero por hacer lo correcto". "No se dará el beneficio de la duda por tomar decisiones difíciles pero necesarias". Al contrario, el no se hará un baño de próspero por hacer lo correcto. Se atacará, se cuestionará sus motivos, no se apreciará, no ahora y tal vez incluso hasta mucho después de que esté fuera, como eventualmente Truman lo fue, o nunca, como atesta Marcus Aurelius.

  But should this stop you? No, it should not. It cannot, because you must do what is right, what is best for you and for those who need your leadership. We do what's right because it is right, because we are the leader, because it is our duty. The rest doesn't matter. One of the best things I think we've done here at Daily Stoic is our leadership course, the Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge. It's our biggest course. It's our most involved course. We got to talk to all different kinds of leaders in our deep dives, from Major General Dan Kane, basketball coach Shaka Smart, the architect of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty, one of the great CEO and leadership coaches on Wall Street,

  Randall Stutman, a whole bunch of fascinating leaders of all different types about exactly this, how to make unpopular decisions, how to deal with politics like in the workplace, how to wield power effectively to do good.
