'A lucid and practical guide that brings Stoic philosophy to life for modern leaders.’ - Donald Roberston
'The Stoic Leader helps to put in practice what Marcus Aurelius advised to do: no longer talk about what it means to be a good person, just be one. This is one of the best leadership guides I have read.’ - Cyrille Vigneron, Former CEO, Cartier
Learn how to succeed in business with the millennia-old Stoic mindset. A clear and concise overview of Stoic principles alongside practical strategies to lead with clarity and control.
Nothing great is easy, as Epictetus said. But it is achievable. The Stoic Leader brings together the five principles of Stoicism to empower you to lead with clarity and resilience and master your mindset.
In The Stoic Leader, successful CEO Justin Stead and leading Stoic authority John Sellars bring together key lessons from the ancients alongside practical philosophical takeaways to empower your leadership strategy, improve results and show you how to navigate challenges and uncertainties with virtue and vision. This hands-on leadership book harnesses the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca into a clear and concise business mindset, equipping you with the tools you need to enrich your leadership skills and find stillness in your strategy.
Whether you’re running a business or working as part of one, this classic business book will show you how to navigate challenges in your working life with resilience, to help you find inner peace within external chaos and enhance your performance with greater control.
