Machiavellian guile refers to a style of leadership and management that is associated with deceit, cynicism, and guile. The word "Machiavellian" comes from the Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote The Prince in the 1500s. The book encourages the idea that "the end justifies the means", especially for politicians.
Machiavellian people are described as sneaky, cunning, and lacking a moral code. They have little regard for moral or ethical standards, and focus on money, power, and competition. They aim to win at any cost, and place little emphasis on community building, self-care, and family commitment.
Some examples of Machiavellian tactics include:
Manipulating others through flattery or charm
Hiding one's true intentions to gain trust
Using one's power or influence to control others
Playing people off against each other
Lying to or deceiving others
Using charisma to win others over to one's point of view
Machiavellian leaders are motivated to manipulate others in order to accomplish their own goals. They have little trust in people and in turn, tend not to be trusted by others. |
