Stoic leadership (TLP 2025w13)

Early in my life I was exposed to an excellent example of Stoic leadership, but I was too young to recognize it. Notes: One regret I have in my life is not discovering Stoic philosophy earlier. If there is one thing that has improved my mental well-being as a leader, it is discovering Stoicism. While I was too young to understand it at the time, I was exposed to an excellent example of Stoic leadership when I was a 19 year old trainee in the army. Let me tell you the story of Prendergast, via a read of a blog entry I wrote back in 2020: https://techleader.pro/a/530-Prendergast You can find that blog entry on my website techleader.pro. I found myself thinking about Prendergast during a very difficult week, full of conflict, production outages, and tight deadlines. I think we all need such a mental image, to center our thoughts on during stressful times, and bring about some mental calm. Secondly, please buy yourself a copy of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and Letters from a Stoic by Seneca, and read a little each day, especially when you feel stressed. Leadership is hard, take care of yourselves! Notes and subscription links are here: https://techleader.pro/a/686-Stoic-leadership-(TLP-2025w13)
