The Lecture on 3rd of July 2019, was on the compelling topic of "Eight stages of managerial art and mechanisms of influence."
One thing is known about the ideal leader: he exists.
At the 2-hour lecture, the individual stages of the leader’s advancement “from stormy stupid activity to sensible non-action” were presented.
This presentation of the leader is successful in understanding his cause-and-effect relationships, forming relatively autonomous management mechanisms.
As he moves from one step to another, the head is freed from the need to perform certain functions as unnecessary or by delegation, which frees up his personal time, intellectual and spiritual strength for strategic management of the company.
On 5th of July 2019, another lecture by Tarasov was presented:
"Machiavelli and Medici: Management and Life Lessons".
On the grave of Niccolo Machiavelli in Florence, you can read the inscription: "There are no words in the Italian language, capable of transmitting all the grandeur of this man".
And if many people know about him and his works only by hearsay and imagine him as a kind of apologist for cynicism and evil, which is better to stay away from, then the reason is that Machiavelli was, first of all, an ardent patriot of Italy. As a patriot, he hated the institution of the papacy Considering that the Catholic Church in the person of this institution, having no strength and desire to unite Italy and thereby eliminate bloody wars between its city-states, has the strength and desire to prevent anyone who tries to make such an association. Separating and dominating, the church had its bonuses from internecine wars of compatriots. The church answered him with the same hatred, burning his books, and demonizing his image forever. Moreover, Machiavelli aroused and causes envy, and even hatred of many "social thinkers," to his indecent great intellectual superiority. Machiavelli's works are densely saturated with information. However, an inexperienced or insufficiently attentive gaze can glide over their surface, without really taking advantage of this invaluable treasury of useful management recipes, techniques and principles, since not everyone has enough time and patience to do the necessary, labor-intensive work.
At the meeting, the guests discovered the Great Teacher, enriched ourselves with his managerial techniques and learned to examine in his texts useful thoughts and advice.
