So What?... Are We Doomed to Repeat History?

Roman emperors. Corporate CEOs. Different centuries. Same mistakes? History has a funny habit of repeating itself. And apparently, so does bad leadership. In this episode of So What..., Chris Argent, Mike Rose and Joel ask why we keep making the same leadership mistakes when history has already shown us how they play out. From Roman emperors surrounded by yes-men to modern leaders disconnected from their teams, the trio explore the dangers of isolation, the importance of feedback and why human behaviour hasn't changed nearly as much as the world around us. They also discuss what previous industrial revolutions can teach us about AI, why leadership can be a lonely place and how looking backwards might actually help us lead better tomorrow. Because if we've seen it all before, shouldn't we know better by now? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
