The rules of the directors explain to us,
not only why some men are monstrous and others benevolent,
but also everything related to politics,
from war to international aid, from political dynasties to corruption.
Things we can talk about next time.
But for now, you, aspiring leader, may feel sickened by the political world,
and decided to ignore it completely.
But you can't, because leaders come in many forms.
Kings, presidents and prime ministers, okay,
but also deans, godfathers, mayors, CEOs, leaders.
These rules apply to everyone and explain their actions,
of the CEO of the largest multinational who must satisfy his board of directors,
up to the president of the smallest owners association,
who manages the votes and spends the membership fees.
You can't escape the power structures,
you can only pretend not to understand them.
And if you want to see the change you dream of one day happen,
There is one rule #0 that you cannot ignore.
Without power, you cannot act on anything.
You may not like these rules,
but it is certainly better that it be you on the throne rather than someone else.
And who knows? Maybe you will be different.
