“Secondly, it must be understood that Machiavelli's work was part of the political and national context of a

Florentine Republic that is 500 years distant from twenty-first century liberal

democracy. Machiavelli's era was that of the Medici family, of naked conquest by

military force”

unprincipled conduct of organizational leadership, especially leadership of the state.”
