Abstract	"Mirrors for Princes is a history of the business book. Predating modern leadership and management literature by thousands of years, common to cultures throughout the world, mirrors for princes, as this genre was known, taught kings, queens, sultans, and other rulers how to lead their subjects. Machiavelli's The Prince and Aristotle's tips for tyrants in The Politics are but the best-known examples. Often written for general audiences, this literature also taught readers to copy the virtues of fabled leaders and to follow the lead of their own rulers. After falling out of favor for the last two centuries, the genre found new life in modern mirrors for managers, which are riddled with the same self-serving clichés. This book seeks to familiarize readers with the clichés of mirrors for princes, so they can more easily recognize them in both academic and popular literature on leadership"-- Provided by publisher.
