The Consigliere Thesis

from Corporate Thought · host Marc Marling

Tom Hagen was the model trusted advisor, until the story itself decided he wasn't tough enough for wartime. In this episode of Corporate Thought, Marc builds the real argument behind the project: why willingness to speak up isn't the differentiator people think it is, why most lawyers fail at delivering hard truths, and what it actually takes to keep a leader's worst instincts at bay when the pressure is highest. Companion to Monday's letter, The Consigliere Thesis. New episodes every Wednesday, letters every Monday at corporatethought.com.
