Ryan Holiday – The Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge: Ancient Wisdom For Modern Leaders

THIS IS THE RECORDED VERSION OF THE 2023 LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE.

“For I believe a good king is from the outset and by necessity a philosopher, and the philosopher is from the outset a kingly person.” — Musonius Rufus,

What are the traits of good leaders? Who should you model for leadership? How can I be a better leader – of my family, company, team, audience, group of friends, or myself?

We created this course, Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Leader: A Daily Stoic Guide To Leadership, to answer all those questions and more.

For thousands of years, the Stoics have not only been leaders, but the resource other leaders have turned to for advice and guidance:

• George Washington quoted Cato to spur and deter his troops.
• John Adams declared that “all the ages of the world have not produced a greater statesman and philosopher united in the same character” as Cicero.
• Admiral James Stockdale knew Epictetus’ works by heart and recited lines regularly. General James Mattis didn’t enter a battlefield without Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations

What is the cost of not living up to your potential as a leader? Maybe it’s a missed promotion at work, an unnecessary argument at home, a lack of respect from peers. No matter what your situation, it’s always possible to become a better leader. To make situations and people better.

And the best way to learn leadership is to “go straight to the seat of intelligence” as Marcus Aurelius put it.

That’s what we did in this course. We designed this 9-week course to mirror the kind of education that produced historically great leaders like Marcus Aurelius. Specifically, we built it around one of the key lessons from Marcus’s own development: the idea that leadership is less a position and more a process.

Indeed, Marcus worked at it day after day, as you would do when perfecting a skill or getting in shape. You don’t work at it for eight hours a few times a month or go to a week-long intensive retreat every year. No, you work at it diligently and consistently, a little bit each day.
