Editor's note: This book presents two unique works that successfully complement each other - the world bestseller Niccolo Machiavelli “The Prince” and a book from the library of harsh management from famous experts Hector Zadirov and Yuri Navruzov “Forced management a la Machiavelli, or Truthful instructions to the director." Such a unification is completely organic, since the concept of management set forth in “Forced Management...” is based on the time-tested postulates of Machiavelli’s immortal work. Hector Zadirov, Yuri NavruzovForcible management a la Machiavelli or Truthful instructions to the directorThe thirst for power lies dormant in everyone. This book is designed to awaken it. After all, it is written about the nature of power and the qualities of a ruler. The philosopher's stone of magical influence on subjects was discovered by Niccolo Machiavelli long ago. It is based on two rational substances of power – coercion and fear. Unfortunately, over the past half century, these substances have been veiled by management lyricists with irrational terms “leadership”, “charisma” and “delegation”, which only hide the true nature of the power of one person over another. Having accompanied selected quotes from Machiavelli with modern examples, the authors of the book “Forced Management a la Machiavelli or Truthful Instructions to the Director,” the famous scientist, consultant and writer Hector Zadirov, with the support of his follower Yuri Navruzov, restore the status quo and give strict instructions to the director on how to get, maintain and increase power in the organization. Niccolo Machiavelli The Prince “The Prince” is the most significant work of the Florentine Renaissance statesman Niccolo Machiavelli. For many years this book was associated with the politics of intimidation and coercion. However, to an informed reader of the 21st century, this work no longer seems so sensational: upon careful reading, most of the provisions of Machiavellianism are taken for granted in the practice of public administration.
